The trend of correlation changes of macronutrient intakes among different familial pairs: A prospective study among participants of Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study
The present study illuminates the dynamic nature of familial dietary correlations over time. The contrasting trends between sister-sister and brother-sister dyads suggest a significant influence of gender on shared dietary patterns. These findings underscore the complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors in shaping family dietary behaviors and highlight the importance of considering both gender and relationship type when examining fam…
Severity of adipose tissue dysfunction is associated with progression of pre-diabetes to type 2 diabetes: The Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study
Severe ATD was associated with an elevated risk of developing T2D and longitudinal poor-glycemic controls in Pre-DM subjects. ATD may be a simple and useful index for detecting subjects at a higher risk of Pre-DM progression to T2D, allowing for timely intervention strategies
Effect of 3-year changes in adiposity measures on the pre-diabetes regression and progression: A community-based cohort study
Short-term management of adiposity measures increases the regression probability to NGR. Targeting BW loss seems a more potent predictor of Pre-DM reversion among the adiposity measures
Familial resemblance and family-based heritability of nutrients intake in Iranian population: Tehran cardiometabolic genetic study
Our findings suggested a weak-to-moderate similarity between the nutrient intakes of parents and offspring. The resemblance degree in nutrient intake varied between different family pairs; the strongest correlation of nutrients was observed between spouses, which includes TFAs, chromium, fiber, pantothenic acid, and vitamin C. The lowest correlation of nutrients was between siblings, such as carbohydrates, thiamine, niacin, and vitamin K. An indi…
