This paper presented the methodology and main findings of a population-based survey to determine diabetes care status among type 2 diabetic subjects in Iran.

Hypertension is one of the most important risk factors for premature mortality and morbidity in Iran. The objective of the Iranian blood pressure (BP) measurement campaign was to identify individuals with raised blood pressure and providing appropriate care and increase the awareness among the public and policymakers of the importance of tackling hypertension.

Considering the association of cardiovascular disease (CVD) with both osteoporosis and sarcopenia, this study aimed to explore the association between a newly developed CVD risk score and osteosarcopenia in the elderly population.

Osteosarcopenia, defined as sarcopenia plus osteopenia/osteoporosis, may increase the risk of fractures and affects morbidity and mortality in the older population. Falling is also common in the elderly and increases the risk of fractures and mortality. We examined the association of cardio-metabolic risk factors with a history of falling in osteosarcopenic men.

Non- communicable diseases (NCDs) are the main cause of death, which lead to over 73% of death and 62% of DALYs globally. As an unhealthy diet is the leading behavioral risk factor of NCDs, in line with the national action plan for the prevention and control of NCD, this study explored the nutrition-related stewardship problems to reduce the burden of NCDs in Iran.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) and its cardiovascular disease (CVD) complication are among the most frequent causes of death worldwide. However, the metabolites linking up diabetes and CVD are less understood. In this study, we aimed to evaluate serum acylcarnitines and amino acids in postmenopausal women suffering from diabetes with different severity of CVD and compared them with healthy controls.

Cancer is one of the important health problems in Iran, which is considered as the third cause of death. Endocrine cancers are rare but mostly curable. Thyroid cancer, the most common endocrine tumors, includes about one percent of malignant cancer. In this study, we examined the 15-year national trend of endocrine cancer incidence in Iranian men and women.

The goal of this study is to clarify clinical, functional, and biochemical features of postmenopausal women who are at risk of developing osteosarcopenia.

Our meta-analysis aimed to determine the dose-response relationship between caffeine intake and risk of small for gestational age (SGA) and preterm birth (PB).

استئوپروز (پوکی استخوان) با کاهش تراکم و کیفیت استخوان همراه است. بدلیل کاهش تراکم بافت استخوانی، استخوان شکننده شده و خطر شکستگی در این بیماران به شدت افزایش می یابد. در راستای رویارویی با این معضل بهداشتی و استفاده بهینه از منابع موجود، داشتن اطلاعاتی کامل در خصوص شیوع این بیماری و نیز عوامل خطر آن در کشور ضروری می نماید.
