“…The geographical distributions of some common cancers and ischemic heart disease for some years in Iran are available; however, since these statistics are not thorough, comparing them with the results of the present study is not possible. Also, due to the differences in age groups and the separate investigation of asthma and COPD, the geographical distribution of asthma and COPD in the study conducted by Varmaghani et al, [25] was hardly consistent with the results of our study.…”

“…In a study conducted by Varmaghani et al, with the aim of investigating the trend of asthma and COPD mortality over the period from 2001 to 2015 in Iran, the results showed that the trend of COPD mortality had increased during this period and the age-standardized COPD mortality rate was higher in males (12.3) than in females (8.4). In the same study, the age-standardized mortality rate from asthma was also higher in males (8.8%) than in females (7.2%), and a decrease was observed in the overall trend of asthma[25].…”

Background Following the epidemiologic and demographic transition, non-communicable disease mortality is the leading cause of death in Iran. Projecting mortality trend can provide valuable tools for policy makers and planners. In this article, we have estimated the trend of non-communicable disease mortality during 2001–2015 and have projected it until 2030 at national and subnational levels in Iran. Methods The data employed was gathered from the Iranian death registration system and using the Spatio-temporal model, the trends of 4 major categories of non-communicable diseases (cancers, cardiovascular diseases, asthma and COPD, and diabetes) by 2030 were projected at the national and subnational levels. Results The results indicated that age standardized mortality rate for cancers, CVDs, and Asthma and COPD will continue to decrease in both sexes (cancers: from 81.8 in 2015 to 45.2 in 2030, CVDs: 307.3 to 173.0, and Asthma and COPD: from 52.1 to 46.6); however, in terms of diabetes, there is a steady trend in both sexes at national level (from 16.6 to 16.5). Age standardized mortality rates for cancers and CVDs, in males and females, were high in all provinces in 2001. The variation between the provinces is clearer in 2015, and it is expected to significantly decrease in all provinces by 2030. Conclusion Generally, the age standardized mortality rate from NCDs will decrease by 2030. Of course, given the experience of the past two decades in Iran, believing that the mortality rate will decrease may not be an easy notion to understand. However hard to believe, this decrease may be the result of better management of risk factors and early detection of patients due to more comprehensive care in all segments of society, as well as improved literacy and awareness across the country.

“…The total burden of COPD increased from 201.8 to 303.1 per 100 000 population during 1999 -2016 and the APC for this increase was 1.56% in Iran. In line with the results of the GBD study, Varmaghani et al (5) showed that the COPD-related mortality rate increased from 2001 to 2015 in Iran. Different factors affect these increasing trends in both mortalities and DALYs.…”

“…In Iran, a study by Varmaghani et al showed that the mortality rate attributable to COPD has risen during the past 15 years. This rate might have increased due to the increased exposure of people to COPD-related risk factors, such as air pollution, which is a common problem in larger cities (5). In its Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study, the IHME collected all the available data from all countries and regions and analyzed them systematically in order to produce the best possible evidence on the burden of diseases and their risk factors.…”

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an important public health challenge. This report studies the burden of COPD and its risk factors in the Iranian population. Methods: This study has used the data from a study by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) on the disability adjusted life year (DALY) of COPD and its risk factors in Iran in 2016. Results: Based on the IHME results, the DALY was 201.8 per 100 000 population in 1999 and 303.1 per 100 000 population in 2016. About 0.47% of the total estimated DALYs in Iran (1990) were related to COPD. The risk of COPD attributable to tobacco was 140.3 DALYs per 100 000, and air pollution and occupational hazards were responsible for 98.4 and 39.5 DALYs per 100 000 population. In Iran, the DALY of COPD attributable to behavioral and environmental risk factors was 75.7% in 1990 and 91.6% in 2016. Conclusions: Health policy makers need to have a holistic approach in order to decrease the burden of COPD in the future years. Targeting behavioral and environmental risk factors requires a strong organizational and social commitment to health.

“…Global COPD prevalence is about 12% (4). In Iran, mortality from COPDs is 8.46% in women and 12.38% in men (5). The decreased pulmonary function can be considered as a predictor of death independent of lung disease (6).…”

Background: Why is bodyweight not a predictor of lung function, however, height, sex, race, and age are predictors of lung capacity and function. In this study, we want to investigate the association between body composition and pulmonary function. And as much as possible, answer the question of why bodyweight is not predictive of lung function.Method: This cross-sectional study was performed among 2967 employees of Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS) who participated in the TUMS Employees Cohort (TEC) study. The body composition of the participants was measured using the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) method. Anthropometric variables were also measured as a confounder. The pulmonary function of participants was assessed by a forced spirometry test.Results: The correlation of BIA values including fat-free mass and total body water with a pulmonary function such as FEV1, FVC, and FEF25-75 is higher than most anthropometric values such as weight, wrist circumference, and the waist to hip ratio. Also, in regression analysis, age and sex had an association with pulmonary function, but the weight did not show a significant relationship. On the other hand, fat-free mass and visceral fat were significantly associated with pulmonary function. One is direct and the other is inverse.Conclusion: The hypothesis that the results of this study created in the minds of the authors were that; The direct association of fat-free mass with pulmonary function may be ineffective by the inverse association of visceral fat with pulmonary function, leading to a lack of association between weight and pulmonary function.

Death‐specific rate due to asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in Iran

Abstract: It seems that mortality rate attributable to COPD has risen during the past 15 years in Iran. It could have increased because of increased exposure of people to related risk factors such as air pollution which is a common problem in larger cities and border provinces.
