significant relation was found between CRP and physical activity, LDL and HDL (P> 0.05). Moreover, significant associa ons were observed between body mass index and VO2max (r=-0.33, P=0.02) and physical ac vity (r=- 0.43, P=0.04). CONCLUSIONS: Body mass index was the most powerful predictor of serum concentrations of CRP in schoolchildren. It may be an important factor to control body weight to prevent an increase in serum CRP in children and to help the primordial prevention of chronic diseases.

obesity indices (BMI, WC, WHR) among Tehranian adults in a 6-year follow- up study.
6.6+/-0.9 years), 141 adults were recruited with: two 24 hour dietary recalls at the beginning, as well as obesity indices at the beginning and end of the study period. Dietary intakes were converted into grams of intakes of food items and categorized into 16 groups. Reduced rank regression analysis derived five patterns with total and polyunsaturated-to-saturated fat intake, cholesterol, fiber and calcium intake as response variables. Factors (dietary patterns) were generated retaining a corresponding factor loading > or = |0.17| on the food groups. Changes in obesity indices were scrutinized within quintiles of factor scores. RESULTS: There were high loadings on refined carbohydrates, whole grain, starchy vegetables, other vegetables, red and refined meat, saturated/trans fat, and egg for the first factor named "traditional". All obesity indices had increasing trend across quintiles of pattern score. The fifth pattern (namely egg pattern) had high loading for eggs, salty snacks, as well as fruits and dry
139
fruits, and negative loadings for red and processed meat, saturated and trans fat, plant oils, and dairy products. This pattern showed increasing trends for WC and WHR after adjustment for potential confounders. Other patterns showed non-significant trends for obesity indices. CONCLUSIONS: The results were indicative of a traditional pattern which is dominated in the Tehran region and associated with increase in obesity indices.
Journal of Research in Health Sciences, 2010;10(2) The Prevalence of Obesity and its Related Risk Factor in the North of Iran in 2006 Gholamreza Veghari, Mehdi Sedaghat, Hamidreza Joshaghani, Ahmad Hoseini, Farhad Niknezhad, Abdolhamid Angizeh, Ebrahim Tazik, Pooneh Moharloei Abstract Background: The main objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of the obesity and the related risk factors in the north of Iran. Methods: This was a population-based cross-sectional study that enrolled 2495 subjects (1247 males and 1248 females) using stra fied cluster sampling. Interviewers recorded the data using a multidimensional questionnaire including anthropometric indexes. Body mass index equal to or greater than 25 was considered as overweight and that of 30 and 40 as obese and pathologic obese respec vely. SPSS 16.0 so ware was used for statistical data analysis.
body mass index was 25.3 [95% CI: 25.0, 25.6] kg/m 2 for men and 27.5 [95% CI: 27.2, 27.9] kg/m 2 for women. The prevalence rates of overweight, obesity and pathologic obesity were 29.9% (745/2495), 22.5% (561/2495) and 1.8% (44/2495) respec vely. The prevalence of obesity was higher in urban residents than rural ones, 27.3% versus 18.9% respec vely (P
area compared to rural area; 2.60 [95% CI: 2.14, 3.15] for females compared to males; 5.95 [95% CI: 3.54, 9.99] for married people compared to single people; 1.89 [95% CI: 1.44, 2.84] for age group of 55-65 years compared to age group of 15-24 years; 1.76 [95% CI: 1.17, 2.64] for illiterate people compared to those who had academic educa on; 1.98 [95% CI: 1.13, 2.49] for poor people compared to people with high economic level. 140
Conclusion: The prevalence of obesity and overweight is very high in the north of Iran, hence is a signal of serious health problem, and should be the focus of special attention.
J Sports Sci. 2010;28(9):993-8. Effects of Aerobic Training on Serum Omentin-1 and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Overweight and Obese Men. Saremi A, Asghari M, Ghorbani A. Department of Sport Sciences, University of Arak, Arak, Iran. a- saremi@araku.ac.ir Abstract Omentin-1 is a newly discovered protein expressed and secreted from visceral adipose tissue that increases insulin sensitivity.We examined the effects of 12 weeks of aerobic training on serum omen n-1 concentra ons together with cardiovascular risk factors in overweight and obese men. Eighteen overweight and obese par cipants (age 43.1 ± 4.7 years, BMI ≥ 25 kg . m ⁻² ) were assigned to exercise training (n = 9) and control (n = 9) groups. A matched control group of normal weight par cipants (n = 8; age 42.2 ± 3.8 years, BMI < 25 kg . m ⁻² ) were also recruited for baseline comparison. The obese exercise group par cipated in 12 weeks of progressive aerobic training 5 days a week. Measures of serum omen n-1, insulin resistance, lipid profiles, blood pressure, and body composition were obtained before and a er the 12 weeks. At baseline, normal weight participants had significantly higher serum omentin-1 concentra ons than overweight and obese participants, and there were inverse correlations between omentin-1 and each of waist circumference, fas ng glucose, insulin resistance, total cholesterol,triglyceride, and systolic blood pressure (P < 0 .05). A er the aerobic training, waist circumference, percent body fat, fasting glucose, insulin resistance, triglyceride, total cholesterol, low- density lipoprotein cholesterol, and systolic blood pressure were all significantly decreased (P < 0.05). In contrast, serum omen n-1 concentration was significantly increased after the aerobic programme (P < 0.05), and correlated with changes in insulin resistance (r = − 0.67, P= 0.04), glucose (r = − 0.65, P = 0.05), waist circumference (r = −70, P = 0.03), and aerobic fitness r = −.68, P = 0.04). Aerobic training resulted in an improvement in cardiometabolic risk factors in obese participants, and this improvement was accompanied by increased omentin-1 concentra ons.

According to these studies, because of severe complications of obesity and overweight we wanted to indicate the outbreak rate of obesity and overweight in the certain group of veterans. Methods: This study was cross-sectional in design. The numbers of subjects was 106 individuals in Isfahan city. Anthropometric data and medical history were collected and handled with SPSS 10 sta s cal so ware.
as follow: height, 168.39 ± 8.04 cm, weight, 78.75 ± 13.44 kg, body mass index, 27.98 ± 4.68 Kg/m 2 , mid-arm circumference, 33.19 ± 4.12 cm, calf circumference, 31.96 ± 7.38 cm, mid-arm muscle circumference, 27.34 ± 11.02 cm, biceps skinfold, 12.10 ± 5.47 mm, triceps skinfold, 16.35 ± 6.08 mm, scapular skinfold, 30.17 ± 8.10 mm, suprailiac skinfold, 32.62 ± 7.33 mm, total fat, 89.13 ± 24.16 mm. Conclusion: According to the findings, more than half of the study population were obese and overweight, however spinal cord injured patients with the same body mass index had excessive fat mass compared to other veterans. The main reason is sedentary life style but, additional investigations with larger samples size are encouraged.
American Journal of Applied Sciences, 2010, Vol 7, Issue 11, P 1439-1442 Prevalence of Obesity, Overweight and Underweight among Elementary School Children in Southern Iran, 2009 Elham Ahmadi ; Ali Rikhtegaran Tehrani ; Akbar Ahmadi Abstract STATEMENT: In recent years obesity has become epidemic in children and adolescents and was one of the main problems in developed and developing countries. Considering the importance of obesity complications

for the health state of society and its increasing rate, careful evaluation, monitoring and follow up of obesity in children and adolescents was of a great importance. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of obesity, overweight and underweight in elementary schoolchildren in Kerman, Iran.
schoolchildren aged 7-11 years in Kerman/Iran in 2009. A ques onnaire consisted of age, sex, type of school, parents’ educational level, family size, weight and height was filled out for each student. Weight and height were measured by standard methods. Obesity, overweight and underweight based on Body Mass Index (BMI) were determined for age and sex and in comparison to standard percentiles of World Health Organization (WHO).
4.4 and 0.57% respec vely. There was no significant rela onship between BMI and gender. There was an increasing rate of obesity and overweight risk in children of parents with higher educational levels and the prevalence of underweight was higher in the students of public schools. No significant relationship was found between BMI and family size. CONCLUSION: Based on the results, although obesity was still relatively uncommon in 7-11 year old urban students, the more important problem was the increasing rate of obesity and overweight prevalence. Establishing interventional measures in order to prevent risky behaviors leading to obesity and overweight seems to be highly necessary

predicting incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Iranian adults. DESIGN: It is a population-based longitudinal study. SUBJECTS: A total of 1614 men and 2006 women, aged > or =40 years, free of CVD at baseline were included in the study. MEASUREMENTS: Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) and cardiovascular risks were assessed. Incident CVD was ascertained over a median of 7.6 years follow-up. The adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for CVD were calculated for 1 s.d. change in all obesity variables using Cox propor onal hazards regression analysis. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used as the method of defining the points of the maximum sum of sensitivity and specificity (MAXss) of each variable as a predictor of CVD. RESULTS: We found 333 CVD events during follow-up. The risk-factor- adjusted HRs were significant for all anthropometric variables in males and WHR in females and were 1.19, 1.24, 1.21 and 1.24 for BMI, WC, WHR and WHtR in males and 1.27 for WHR in females, respec vely (all P<0.05). ROC analysis showed the highest area under curve (AUC) for WHR, WHtR and WC, followed by BMI in males and both genders aged< or =60 years. In females, WHR and WHtR had the highest AUC, followed by WC and BMI. Among those >60 years old, all the anthropometric variables showed same CVD predicting power. The cutoff values (MAXss) for CVD prediction in males and females were BMIs 26.95 and 29.19 kg m(-2),WCs 94.5 and 94.5 cm, WHRs 0.95 and 0.90, and WHtR 0.55 and 0.62, respec vely.

fhospanah@endocrine.ac.ir Abstract BACKGROUND: Considering the increasing trend of obesity reported in current data, this study was conducted to examine trends of obesity and abdominal obesity among Tehranian adults during a median follow-up of 6.6 years. METHODS: Height and weight of 4,402 adults, aged 20 years and over, participants of the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS), were measured in 1999-2001(phase I) and again in 2002-2005(phase II) and 2006-2008 (phase III). Criteria used for obesity and abdominal obesity defined body mass index (BMI) >or= 30 and waist circumference >or= 94/80 cm for men/women respec vely. Subjects were divided into 10-year groups and the prevalence of obesity was compared across sex and age groups.
31.5, 37.7 and 38.6% in women in phases I, II and III respec vely (p < 0.001). The prevalence of abdominal obesity in men was 36.5, 57.2 and 63.3% and in women was 76.7, 83.8 and 83.6% in the three periods men oned (p < 0.001). Men aged between 20-29 years had highest increase rates of obesity and abdominal obesity in phase III in comparison with phase I (with a respec ve rates of 2.2- and 3.3-fold). In both sexes, an increased trend was observed between phases I and II, whereas between phases II and III, this trend was observed in men, but not in women.

Exp Diabetes Res. 2009;2009:136501. Epub 2009 Nov 4. Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome in an Adult Urban Population of the West of Iran. Sharifi F, Mousavinasab SN, Saeini M, Dinmohammadi M. Clinical Endocrinology, Metabolic Diseases Research Center, Zanjan University of Medical Sciences, Zanjan, Iran. Abstract OBJECTIVES: We determine the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in an urban population of Zanjan, a province located to the west of Tehran. METHODS: Randomly selected adults >20 years were studied using stra fied sampling. Target study sample was 2941 (1396 males and 1545 females). Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed using Adult Treatment Panel- III (ATP-III) guidelines when any three of the following were present: central obesity, raised triglycerides > or =150 mg/dl, low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, blood pressure > or = 130/ > or = 85 mm Hg, and diabetes or fas ng plasma glucose (FPG) > or = 100 mg/dl.
95%:22%-25%, P = .001), prevalence was 23.1% in men and 24.4% in women (P : .4). The prevalence increased from 7.5% in the popula on younger than 30 y to 45.6% in ages more than 50 years. Low HDL was the most common metabolic abnormality in both sexes. Most of those with metabolic syndrome had three components of the syndrome (75.6%), 170 subjects (24.4%) had four and none had five components simultaneously. The prevalence of obesity (BMI > or = 30 kg/m(2)), hypercholesterolemia (> or =200 mg/dl) and high LDL cholesterol (> or =130 mg/dl) was greater in the metabolic syndrome group than normal subjects (P = .00). CONCLUSIONS: There is a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome in this urban population of the northern west of Iran. Focus of cardiovascular prevention should be undertaken in this area.
