Background: Preeclampsia is one of the causes of mortality and high-risk pregnancies that endangers the health of mothers in the developing countries. Objectives: The current study aimed at investigating the nutritional pattern in women with preeclampsia. Methods: The current cross sectional study was conducted on 182 pregnant women (82 patients with preeclampsia and 100 healthy subjects) selected using easy sampling in Fasa Vali-e-Asr Hospital in 2016. The dietary intake was evaluated using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire and the intensity of day-night activities by a physical activity questionnaire. Anthropometric indicators were calculated according to standard guidelines, measurement, and body mass index. Dietary patterns were characterized by a factor analysis and its relationship with preeclampsia was investigated by logistic regression method. Results: Two unhealthy and healthy dietary patterns were identified among individuals. In the crude model and after adjusting the effect of confounding variables of unhealthy dietary patterns, no significant relationship was observed between dietary pattern and preeclampsia. In the fourth compare to the first quartile of the healthy dietary pattern, the chance of preeclampsia was 0.219 (95% CI: 0.090-0.528, P = 0.001) crude model and 0.178 (95% CI: 0.059-0.530, P = 0.002) adjusted model. Conclusions: The findings indicated that choosing a healthy dietary pattern was associated with a reduction in the risk of preeclampsia. Regarding these results, prevention of preeclampsia maybe possible by the healthy diet recommendation. The occurrence of complications in the mother, the fetus, and the baby in the future can also be prevented through the same way.

purpose There is a belief that opium consumption has a protective effect on hypertension and diabetes as two important risk factors for cardiovascular disease. This study aims to investigate blood sugar and pressure between opium users and non-users. Methods This cross-sectional study is based on a FASA PERSIAN cohort study. Systolic, diastolic blood pressure, and fasting blood sugar were compared between opium users and non-users. A linear regression model was also used to adjust confounding factors’ effects. Data analysis is performed using version of 22spss software. Mean and standard deviation, frequency and frequency percentage, Independent t-test, Chi-square, ANOVA test, and linear regression model were used to analyze the data. The significance level was 0.05. Results In this study, 7428 adult people participated. The mean age of participants was 46.5 years. 27.05% of participants were opium users. The mean diastolic blood pressure was 73.18 mmHg in non-opium users; however, it was 70.95 mmHg in opium users(P = 0.000). The mean systolic blood pressure was 105.20 mmHg in opium users, but it was 107.78mmhg in non-users(P = 0.000). The mean Fasting Blood sugar was 86.75 and 85.88 mg/dl in non-opium users and users, respectively(P = 0.019). Conclusion In the presence of confounders such as age, sex, smoking, BMI, physical activity, and calorie intake, systolic and diastolic blood pressure were lower in opium consumers, but fasting blood sugar was higher in opium users. Considering the many side effects of these substances, the usage of opium is not recommended at all.
