“…In addition, it was shown that a sedentary lifestyle is prevalent in Iranian population, which is a well-documented risk factor for developing obesity (6). These results are consistent with the systematic review study and indicated that the trends of obesity is rapidly rising in both sexes and all social levels in population, which calls for urgent preventive public health strategies to educate and empower the community members, specially mothers and housewives for modifying obesity in families (1,5). The newest report from the TLGS revealed that after a median of 8-year follow up, the incidence of obesity (body mass index = BMI ≥ 30) was 31.3% (CI: 29.9% -32.7%) among the non-obese population, which was 38.1% (CI: 36.2% -40.1%) in women and 23.4% (CI: 21.6% -25.3%) in men.…”

“…Based on a recent systematic review conducted by Jafari-Adli et al, it was indicated that in line with previous reports from different regions of the world, there is an alarming augment for overweight and obesity prevalence among all ages and the 2 sexes in the Iranian population (1). Results from a previous investigation on 10 368 individuals in Tehran Lipid and Glucose study (TLGS) demonstrated that the raw prevalence of obesity and abdominal obesity increased from 23.1% and 47.9% in 1999 to 34.1% and 71.1% in 2011, respectively (5).…”

Context: Obesity is a major public health problem worldwide. This review aimed at providing an updated overview of obesity in Iranian women and its associated complications. Evidence Acquisition: In this narrative review study, related systematic reviews or meta-analysis studies of high ranking journals conducted from 2000 to 2016 were searched in the PubMed, Medline, and Scopus with the following keywords: "women OR female" AND "weight OR overweight OR obesity", "risk factors OR complications", "reproduction OR cancer OR cardiovascular disease OR diabetes OR gestational diabetes OR maternal obesity OR fertility OR pregnancy OR polycystic ovary syndrome" OR management. Results: In Iran, women have shown a constantly higher risk of obesity compared to men. After a 9-year follow-up, the agestandardized incidence rate (95% CI) of diabetes was 10.1 (7.24 -13.9) in women. The increases in overweight and obesity in menopausal women have an important role in endometrial, colon, and breast cancer. Obesity increases the risk of endometrial cancer 2.4 to 4.5 folds compared to the normal weight women. Maternal obesity increases the risk of gestational hypertension 4.5 to 8.7 times compared to normal weight women. An increasing number of obese women becoming pregnant is associated with shortand long-term maternal and child outcomes. The prevalence of childhood obesity in children of obese women aged 3 to 5 years increases up to 25%; and these children have an almost 6-fold chance of being obese in young adulthood. Weight reduction of obese women is accompanied with lower incidence of obesity complications. The most effective interventions are multiple behavioral management activities. Conclusions:Considering the large population of young people in Iran and the lack of any effective preventive policy, the burden of obesity and its associated outcomes will be problematic in the near future.

“…According to WHO reports, the number of adults with obesity has doubled since 1980 and now has reached 4.1 billion (21). Also in 2005, the number of people with overweight and obesity was 400 and 1.6 million, respectively, worldwide (22). It is predicted that in 2015, the number of people with overweight and obesity reach 2 to 3 million and more than 700 million, respectively.…”

The Effect of Body Mass Index on Patient and Graft Survival Rate in Kidney Transplanted Patients in Iran

Background: The number of patients with overweight and obesity requiring renal transplant in the past 2 decades increased considerably. Objectives: The current study aimed at evaluating the effect of body mass index (BMI) on graft and patients survival rate. Design: In the current retrospective, cross sectional study, transplant recipients were divided into 3 groups based on their BMI: group 1 (BMI < 18.5 kg/m 2 ), group 2 (BMI = 18.5 to 25 kg/m 2 ), and group 3 (BMI > 25 kg/m 2 ). Kaplan-Meier formula was used to calculate

TP53 single nucleotide polymorphism (rs1042522) in Iranian patients with coronary artery disease

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Abstract. Chronic diseases including coronary artery disease (CAD) impose a high burden in terms of mortality and disability particularly in developing countries. Both genetic and environmental risk factors confer susceptibility to CAD. Meanwhile, a functional polymorphism in the tumor protein p53 (TP53) gene (codon 72, exon 4) has been reported to be associated with a wide range of cancers and inflammatory disorders. There are controversies regarding CAD and involvement of the TP53 codon 72 single nucleotide polymorphism; therefore, the present case-control study was conducted to evaluate the potential association between this TP53 polymorphism and CAD in an Iranian population. A total of 153 subjects (including 70 patients diagnosed with CAD and 83 subjects with normal coronary parameters, determined by angiography) were genotyped for the TP53 (rs1042522) polymorphism by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique. Clinical and laboratory findings were also evaluated. The χ 2 test and unpaired Student's t-test were applied to compare genotype and allele distributions and clinical characteristics between the two groups. Significant associations of the Pro72 allele [odds ratio (OR)=1.66, P=0.027] and Pro/Pro genotype (OR=2.91, P=0.022) with CAD were identified. No associations between patients' clinical findings and genotypes were apparent. Therefore, according to present findings, the TP53 Pro72 allele may be involved in the development of CAD along with conventional risk factors in patients from Northern Iran.
