The associations between dietary omega-6, omega-3, and omega 6 to omega 3 ratio fatty acids and hypertension risk among adults: A prospective cohort study.

Background And Aims: Previous studies have yielded mixed results on the connection between dietary omega-3 and omega-6 intakes and the risk of hypertension (HTN) incidents. Therefore, we conducted a study to survey the connection between baseline dietary intake of omega-3, omega-6, and omega-6 to omega 3 (omega-6/3) fatty acids (FA) and the risk of hypertension.

Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study and assessed dietary intake through a 118-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ).

The effect of chamomile consumption on glycemic markers in humans and animals: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: The use of natural and herbal products as alternative therapies, in conjunction with blood glucose-lowering medications, is on the rise for patients with diabetes. Our objective was to conduct a systematic review and comprehensive meta-analysis of both human and animal models to investigate the impact of chamomile consumption on glycemic control.

Methods: A systematic search was conducted on all published papers from January 1990 up to January 2022 via Scopus, PubMed/Medline, Google Scholar, and ISI Web of Science.

Effect of a moderately carbohydrate-restricted diet on liver enzymes, steatosis and fibrosis in normal-weight individuals with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: study protocol for a parallel randomised controlled clinical trial.

Introduction: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a hepatic condition that is considerably prevalent across the world. Dietary intakes, in which macronutrient composition is precisely planned, might be able to reduce inflammation, steatosis and fibrosis among patients with NAFLD. A moderately carbohydrate restricted diet with weight loss has been demonstrated to improve liver fat content among overweight or obese patients.

Association Between Protein Intake From Different Animal and Plant Origins and the Risk of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A Case-Control Study.

Previous studies have frequently reviewed how different macronutrients affect liver health. Still, no study centered around protein intake and the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) risk relationship. This study aimed to examine the association between the consumption of total and different sources of protein and NAFLD risk.

Does folic acid supplementation have a positive effect on improving memory? A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Introduction: The results of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the effect of folic acid supplementation on memory status due to various heterogeneity, dosage, duration, and cognitive function assessments were inconclusive. Therefore, we have performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the effect of folic acid supplementation on memory in RCTs.

Method: Comprehensive computerized systematic searches were conducted throughout Scopus, PubMed/Medline, and Google Scholar from inception until February 2022 to investigate the effect of folic acid supplementation memory levels in RCTs.

Consumption of "Diabetes Risk Reduction Diet" and Odds of Breast Cancer Among Women in a Middle Eastern Country.

Background: Given the role of insulin resistance in several cancers, we hypothesized that consumption of a diet that reduces insulin resistance might lower the risk of breast cancer.

Objective: The present study was designed to assess the association between consumption of "diabetes risk reduction diet" (DRRD) and odds of breast cancer among a large group of women in a Middle Eastern country.

Methods: This population-based case-control study enrolled 350 newly diagnosed cases of stage I-IV breast cancer and 700 age-matched apparently healthy individuals as controls.

Association between dietary intake of branched-chain amino acids and sarcopenia and its components: a cross-sectional study.

There is no previous study that investigated the association between dietary intake of total and individual branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and odds of sarcopenia. The present study aimed to examine the association between dietary intake of BCAAs and sarcopenia and its components among Iranian adults. The data for this cross-sectional study was collected in 2011 among 300 older people (150 men and 150 female) with aged ≥ 55 years.

The association between Dietary Diversity Score and odds of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: a case-control study.

Objective: There is no previous study that investigated the association between Dietary Diversity Score (DSS) and odds of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The present study aimed to examine the association between DDS and its components and NAFLD among Iranian adults.

Methods: In the case-control study, we enrolled 121 newly diagnosed cases of NAFLD and 122 with age, BMI and sex-matched controls.

The effect of daily consumption of probiotic yogurt on liver enzymes, steatosis and fibrosis in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD): study protocol for a randomized clinical trial.

Background: Given the increasing prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, it is necessary to find an easy and cost-effective method in its management and treatment. Probiotics are a group of living microorganisms that might affect NAFLD through the intestinal-liver axis. The present clinical trial aims to examine the effect of probiotic yogurt consumption on liver enzymes, steatosis and liver fibrosis in patients with NAFLD.

The association of plant-based dietary patterns and psychological disorders among Iranian adults.

Background: Plant-based dietary pattern, a new scoring system, has had a favorable relationship with the risk of chronic diseases, however, the associations with mental health are long disputed. Thus, we examined the association between an overall plant-based diet (PDI), healthy plant-based diet (hPDI), and unhealthy plant-based diet (uPDI) and psychological disorders in adult Iranian patients.

Methods: In this large cross-sectional study, 3,362 Iranian men and women were recruited.

Association between magnesium concentrations and prediabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Studies on the association between serum magnesium level and prediabetes yielded inconsistent results. Therefore, the present meta-analysis was designed to examine the association between serum magnesium levels and prediabetes. Online databases including PubMed, Embase, Scopus and Google Scholar were searched up to October, 2020.

The association between dietary patterns and depression in adolescents: A cross-sectional study.

Introduction And Purpose: So far, few studies have examined the relationship between dietary patterns and depression in adolescents. The aim of the present study was to determine this relationship in a sample of adolescent Iranian girls.

Materials And Methods: 347 female high school students aged 14-17 years living in Shiraz, Iran participated in this cross-sectional study.

Zinc status in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies.

Previous studies regarding the zinc status in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) yielded inconsistent results. Thus, the present meta-analysis was aimed to estimate the association between hair and serum/plasma zinc levels and ADHD. Online databases of Medline, EMBASE, and Scopus were searched up to October 2020 with no limitation in time and language.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies on the association between animal protein sources and risk of rheumatoid arthritis.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the linear and nonlinear dose-response associations of animal-based dietary protein intake and risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Methods: A systematic search of MEDLINE, Scopus and Embase was conducted up to October 2020. Observational studies that report risk estimates of RA for animal-based protein consumption were included.
