background: the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (mets) is increasing worldwide. limited data are available trying to compare different definitions suggested to identify mets. this study aimed to compare the prevalence of mets and its components based on currently available international and iranian national definitions. methods: the present cross-sectional study was conducted in 2015 among fem...

background : underweight as a public health problem in young women is associated with nutritional deficiencies, menstrual irregularity, eating disorders, reduced fertility, etc. since resting metabolic rate (rmr) is a necessary compo-nent in the development of nutrition support therapy, therefore we determined the accuracy of commonly used pre-dictive equations against rmr measured by indirect ...

background: although the issue of hyperuricemia as a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (cvd) has been disputed, sev­eral studies have shown an association between hyperuricemia and   several cvd risk factors. the aim of this study was to assess distribution of uric acid level in yazd city, center of iran, and its association with cvd risk factors. methods: from autumn 2004 to summer 2005,...

retinol binding protein4 (rbp4) is a type of adipokine which transports vitamin a to serum. rbp4 could be a bridge between obesity and insulin resistance. this study aimed to investigate the effects of aerobic exercises on rbp4 serum's concentration and metabolic syndrome risk factors in obese women.twenty obese women with body max index 35.81±3.67kg/m2, fat percentage 43.98±4.02, and waist to ...

background: the aim of this study was to assess the association between insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) in chinese adults. methods: fifty five subjects with nafld and 55 controls were enrolled for the study. waist circumference, blood pressure, plasma triglyceride, high density lipoprotein cholesterol and fasting plasma glucose concentrations ...

background: metabolic syndrome (mets) is the major risk factor for development of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases in different populations. the aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of mets among iranian population. methods: thirty-four cross-sectional studies were analyzed with a sample of 83227 people. national and international english electronic databases (pubmed, goo...

introduction: sulfur mustard (sm), a toxic alkylating gas, can cause serious long-term pulmonary complications such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd). metabolic syndrome (mets) is one of the important comorbidities of copd. this study was designed to evaluate the frequency of metabolic syndrome in iranian chemical warfare patients (cwps) with copd. materials and methods: thirty cw...

background and objectives: there is convincing evidence that subjects concomitantly affected by type 2 diabetes (t2d) and metabolic syndrome (mes) are at greater risk for cardiovascular disease (cvd). many metabolic derangements in t2d might be attributed to poor vitamin d status. the purpose of this study was to investigate the associations among vitamin d status, mes and glycemic status in su...
