Saudi Med J. 2010 Apr;31(4):406-12. Association of Cell Blood Counts and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors among Young Obese Children. Kelishadi R, Hashemipour M, Ashtijou P, Mirmoghtadaee P, Poursafa P, Khavarian N, Ghatrehsamani S. Pediatric Preventive Cardiology Department, Isfahan Cardiovascular Research Center, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, PO Box 81465- 1148, Isfahan, Iran. kroya@aap.net Abstract OBJECTIVE: To determine the association of cell blood count with obesity and cardiometabolic risk factors in children. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted from 1st November 2007 to 1st October 2008 in the Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome Research Clinic of the Preventive Pediatric Cardiology Department, Isfahan Cardiovascular Research Center, Isfahan, Iran. It comprised 326 (172 girls and 154 boys) obese children aged 6-12 years.
increasing trend in the mean body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), triglycerides (TG), total- and low density lipoprotein (LDL)- cholesterol were documented across the quartiles of the white blood cell (WBC) count, and for waist-to-hip ratio and total cholesterol across platelet quartiles. A similar increasing trend was documented for BMI, waist and hip circumference, diastolic blood pressure, LDL-C, and for TG from the second to the fourth quartile of the red blood cells. By the increase in the number of components of metabolic syndrome, the mean BMI, WBC, and TG increased significantly. The highest correlation was documented between WBC count and TG. The WBC count increased the risk of increased BMI (odds ra o [OR]=1.45, confidence interval [CI] 95%; 1.11-1.65, p=0.001), increased WC (OR; 1.47, CI 95%; 1.15-1.74, p=0.001), and high TG (CI 95%; 1.241.06-1.44, p=0.005 ). CONCLUSION: We found significant associations between CBC components and cardiometabolic risk factors in young obese children. These findings are confirmatory evidence of the pro-inflammatory state of obese individuals, even in young children. 130

Moadab MH, Kelishadi R, Hashemipour M, Amini M, Poursafa P. Department of Pediatric Endocrinology, Endocrine and Metabolism Research Center, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran. Abstract BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and impaired fas ng glucose (IFG) are increasing in young population who are facing an escalating trend of overweight. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of IFG and T2DM for the first me in a popula on-based sample of Iranian obese children.
Isfahan, the second large city of Iran. Overall, 672 overweight and obese school students, selected from 7554 students, aged 6-19 yr, were screened for IFG and T2DM. Fas ng plasma glucose (FPG) and lipid profile were measured in all participants. Oral glucose tolerance test and insulin level were measured in those children with IFG. Insulin resistance was defined as homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) > 3.10.
9.34% (n = 706) were overweight and 5.3% (n = 403) were obese. A number of 672 overweight and obese students including 302 (44.9%) boys and 370 (55.1%) girls, with a mean age of 12.8 +/- 3.10 yr underwent biochemical work up. Overall, the prevalence of IFG was 4.61% (n = 31), the corresponding figure was 2% (n = 4) in the 6-10 yr age group, and 5% (n = 27) in those aged 10.1-19 yr. The prevalence of T2DM was 0.1% (n = 1; age, 18.00 yr). Impaired glucose tolerance and insulin resistance were detected in three and six par cipants with IFG, who consisted 0.4 and 0.8% of total obese and overweight students, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Although the prevalence of T2DM is low in Iranian obese children, IFG is not uncommon. Preventive measures and screening of FPG should be considered for these children.

The mean serum TAG level of Iranian men was significantly higher than that of Iranian women, whereas the mean serum total cholesterol (TC), LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) and HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) levels were significantly higher in Iranian women than in men. The Iranian population had lower mean TC, LDL-C and TAG levels than the Americans, but such difference was not documented for HDL-C. Iranian adolescents had significantly lower mean BMI and higher mean TAG than did American adolescents.

Syndrome, Independent of Body Mass Index. Sharifi F, Hajihosseini R, Mazloomi S, Amirmogaddami H, Nazem H. Department of Clinical Endocrinology, Zanjan Metabolic Diseases Research Center, Vali-e Asr Hospital, Zanjan, Iran. faranaksharifi @hotmail.com Abstract BACKGROUND: Insulin resistance has been shown to have an association with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This study was designed to evaluate the potential role of adiponectin, which is linked with insulin resistance, in the etiology of PCOS and its relationship to obesity. METHODS: This case-control study consisted of 103 newly diagnosed PCOS cases and 73 female controls seen at a referral university hospital in Zanjan, Iran. Serum adiponectin, insulin, plasma fasting glucose, and lipid levels were measured. The homeostasis model assessment index was used to determine the level of insulin resistance. Women were classified as follows: Group I (normal nonlean women); group II (normal lean women); group III (nonlean women with PCOS); and group IV (lean women with PCOS) RESULTS: Adiponec n levels were decreased in women with PCOS (8.4 +/- 2.7 ng/mL vs. 13.6 +/- 5 ng/mL in the control group, P < 0.001). There was no significant difference between the adiponectin concentrations of women in group III and that in group IV (8.1 +/- 2.8 ng/mL vs. 9.2 +/- 2.6 ng/mL, respec vely, P = 0.1). Adiponec n levels were significantly lower in group I compared with group II. A weak but significant negative correlation was found between adiponectin and insulin levels in all the subjects. Multiple regression analyses showed that the presence of PCOS was the only significant determinant of serum adiponectin levels. CONCLUSIONS: Adiponectin levels were reduced in all the women with PCOS. There seemed to be an interaction between adiponectin and PCOS pathogenesis that was independent of body mass index.

Iran. Maddahm@yahoo.com Abstract This cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate the prevalence and predictors of overweight and obesity by location of residence among randomly-selected 2,577 urban school girls aged 12-17 years in Rasht, Iran. Data on age, frequency of skipping breakfast per week, physical activity, hours of television viewing, self-perception about body condition, and home address were collected. Birthweight of the girls, educational levels of parents, weights and heights of parents, and employment status of mothers were asked to the parents using a self-administrated questionnaire. The overall prevalence of overweight and obesity in this popula on was 18.6% and 5.9% respec vely. Overweight or obesity was more common among girls from low-income areas compared to high-income areas (21.6% vs 17.1%, p<0.001). Maternal educa on was posi vely related to overweight/obesity of the girls. Results of logistic regression analysis showed that risk of overweight/obesity was higher in girls whose either parent was overweight or obese. Furthermore, living in low-income areas and skipping breakfast were independently related to overweight/obesity. These data suggest that overweight and obesity are a public-health concern among school girls, especially in low-income areas in Rasht. Knowing risk factors in population subgroups is important for planners in the country because it helps target interventions.

Iranian Journal of Diabetes and Lipid Disorders , 2010;9:8 Leptin and Immunology of Obesity Bidad K 1 , Moayeri H 2 , Nicknam MH 1 * 1- Immunology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran 2- Endocrinology Department, Imam Khomeini Hospital, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran
Today, obesity is a major health problem in both developing and developed countries and investigations discovering its mechanisms are ongoing. Obesity is considered as a state of low-grade inflammation and it is believed that inflammation could be regarded as cause or consequence of obesity. Among all studied factors involved in obesity, leptin has been subject of extensive research. Leptin is a product of the ob gene and is regulated dynamically in the body. Leptin, which is mostly produced by adipocytes, has a role in satiety and is elevated in obesity. It can affect many cells in the immune system and is a target in immunological approaches. Other energy- regulating molecules are also under investigation and research in this field can help to discover new treatments for inflammatory diseases and also to reverse obesity and prevent its disastrous complications.

in some nations. The aim of this study was to evaluate familial aggregation of the metabolic syndrome in Tehranian families.
biochemical data were collected for 4,558 individuals in the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study. Variables of the metabolic syndrome in offspring were correlated with those of their parents. 136
RESULTS: There were 1,274 fathers, 1,576 mothers, 802 sons and 906 daughters. Prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 24.4% for fathers, 39.7% for mothers, 9.0% for sons and 7.6% for daughters. Triglycerides and HDL-C of children whose fathers had metabolic syndrome, and BMI, triglycerides and HDL-C of those whose mothers had it were significantly different from those adolescents whose parents were free of metabolic syndrome. Compared with children whose parents did not have metabolic syndrome, the odds ratio (confidence interval) for children with both parents having metabolic syndrome was 4.53 (2.42-8.8) for metabolic syndrome, 2.22 (1.17-4.19) for abdominal obesity, 1.90 (1.15-3.13) for high blood pressure, 2.66 (1.77-4.00) for low HDL-C and 3.16 (2.10-4.75) for high triglyceride levels.
CONCLUSION: This survey provides evidence suggesting that there is a familial aggregation of the metabolic syndrome among Iranian families.

Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran. Abstract OBJECTIVES: Using a dietary pattern analysis method could provide more information about the nutritional etiology of chronic diseases such as obesity. The aim of this study is to determine the association between major dietary patterns and general and central obesity among adult women living in Tehran.
Tehran, Iran, with 460 women aged 20-50 y. Dietary intake in the previous year was collected by a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. Weight, height and waist circumstance (WC) were measured with standard methods and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. General obesity was defined as BMI > or = 30 kg/m(2) and central obesity as WC > or = 88 cm. Factor analysis was used for identifying major dietary patterns. The association between major dietary patterns and general and central obesity were assessed by logistic regression analysis.
137
RESULTS: Two major dietary patterns were extracted: "Healthy" and "Unhealthy" dietary patterns. After adjusting for confounders, individuals in the highest quartile of the unhealthy dietary pattern score were more likely to have general (OR=7.33, 95% CI: 2.39-22.51) and central obesity (OR=4.99, 95% CI: 2.08-11.94), whereas, those in the upper quar le of healthy dietary pa ern were less likely to have general (OR=0.38, 95% CI: 0.15-0.98) or central obesity (OR=0.33, 95% CI: 0.16-0.71).
vegetables, low-fat dairy products and poultry might be negatively associated with obesity. Furthermore our data showed that a dietary pattern high in processed meats, soft drinks, sweets, refined grains, snacks and processed juice might be positively associated with obesity among women aged 20-50 y.
