“…Statistics show that the effects of this phenomenon in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region are more prominent [2,4]. In this region, Iran, while reporting modest mortality from CVD, is among the countries with the highest prevalence of CVD, with an approximate prevalence of 11% (7.7% for CHD) [2,5].…”

This unceasing significant growth reveals a high burden of T2DM in Iran, particularly when considering its complications [2][3][4]. T2DM is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality events among Iranian populations.…”
