Depression is related to an increase acute phase protein, C-reactive protein (CRP), followed by systemic inflammation. Inflammation is a problem mechanism through which diet can affect the development of chronic diseases. This study was aimed to evaluate the association of diet and anthropometric indices with high-sensitive C - reactive protein (hs-CRP), among depressed and healthy female nurses in Ahvaz city.

In this descriptive-analytical study 98 women (45 depressed and 53 healthy subjects) were randomly chosen from Jondishapoor University of medical sciences, Ahvaz. (I.R. Iran). We assessed dietary intakes, anthropometric measurements and hs-CRP serum levels. Data were analyzed using, ANOVA and linear regression model test.

There was not significant difference between the two healty and depressed groups in the mean of hs-CRP. BMI (Body Mass Index), weight, body fat percent and fat/W (fat to weight ratio) had significant positive association with serum hs-CRP level in depressed subjects (P<0.05). The depressed subjects in fourth quartile had higher dietary vitamin E, A and B12 intake than second one (P<0.05). No significant differences were found between the depression score in healthy participants in different quartile.

The result of this study showed that the more anthropometric measurements, dietary intake of iron and vitamin E, and the less dietary intake of calcium are associated with an increased acute phase response in depressed and healthy subjects.

Healthy nutrition especially the energy intake and the essential nutrient in female student is so important. This study aimed to assess micro and macro nutrient intakes in female students of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences.

This cross-sectioned study was carried out on 100 female students aged between 18 to 25 years old in 1387-1388. Anthropometrics measures were performed and two 24 hours food recalls were used to collect the dietary information and then they were analyzed using food processor 2 and then were compared to the Dietary Reference Intakes 2008) DRI).

61.1% of subjects were residing in dormitories and 12.7% were married. Prevalence of overweight or obesity and abdominal obesity in the studied subjects were 6.9% and 46.1% respectively. The mean (±SD) systolic blood pressure was 105.2±15.6 mmhg and the diastolic was 62.2±10.4 mmhg. Totally 3.9% of the subjects had hypertension. The analysis of food intake indicated that B12, folate, magnesium, potassium, calcium were in a level below the recommended ones, and vitamin C, E, pantothenic acid, B1, B3, phosphate, zinc in a level above the recommended ones, and energy intake, macronutrient, vitamin A, pyridoxine, iron, selenium were in the general appropriate level.

The findings of the study indicated that the appropriate level of macronutrients intake was used and the problem was mainly existed in micronutrients’ consumption. It is recommended to increase the intakes of important food groups such as dairy, vegetable, fruit that are good sources of micronutrients, and it is also suggested to improve strategies and the competence in this area of nutrition.

Background and Gestational hypertension is one of the factors leading to maternal hospitalization during pregnancy. Studies have so far focused on the role of gestational diet in the occurrence of preeclampsia. The present study is conducted to evaluate the relationship between gestational diet and gestational hypertension. Methods and Materials: In a case-control study 100 pregnant women suffering from gestational hypertension disorders and 100 women with no history of hypertension during pregnancy and before that but being hospitalized in the same hospital after labor were compared. The sample size was calculated on the basis of the study objectives as well as =α0.05 and β=0.80. Data were collected through interview food frequency questionnaire and a 24-hour diet recall form. In order to analyze the data the consumed food substances were converted into gram scale and then the Food Processor software rendered the data on diet. The obtained data were analyzed in SPSS using chi-square and logistic regression model. The participants’ mean age was 26.7±6 years. Calcium (p= 0.004) magnesium (p=0.037) phosphorus (p= 0.001) and potassium intakes (p= 0.007) were higher in cases than the controls. Having controlled all variables affecting hypertensive disorders the logistic regression revealed that fiber and calcium were significantly dominant in the development of gestational hypertension. The results of the study showed that calcium and fiber played a more direct role in the development of gestational hypertension.

By considering important role of nutrition in children and teenagers’ health, their nutritional status are determined as obesity and wasting using weight and height. The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of obesity and wasting and their relationship to food intake in female students of junior schools in Zahedan.

In a descriptive analytical cross-sectional study, 687 female students from junior schools were selected by multiple stage sampling method. After recording the participants’ demographic data, their weight and height were measured for body mass index (BMI) calculation according to standard method. National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) and National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES II) data and a 48-hour recall questionnaire were used.

Of the surveyed girls, 16.9%, 31.7% and 13.2% were wasted, under weight and stunted, respectively 8.7% and 1.7% were over weight and obese, respectively. The mean of energy intake was 1502.1±415.7 kcal/d in the students which is less than the recommended dietary allowances (RDA) and there were no balances in daily intake of protein, carbohydrate and lipids. In respect to energy and protein intake, 94.1% and 26.6% of students had deficiency, respectively. On the other hand, findings showed iron (72.1%), calcium (99.8%), phosphorus (83.6%), zinc (84.3%), vitamin A (63.8%) and B12 (66.5%) intake deficiencies.

The female students of junior schools of Zahedan do not have a proper nutritional status according to physical state, energy, protein, and micronutrients intakes and they are at the risk of wasting and underweight. Therefore, we suggest implementation of programs for nutritional support and designing of proper patterns of food consumption to improve female junior students’ nutritional status.
