“…The results revealed that the mean of knowledge score was significantly higher in urban households compared with rural ones. These results are consistent with the data obtained in a review of papers from 1995 to 2015 to assess different aspects of the nutritional status in the Iranian population that showed a deep gap in nutritional deficiencies between urban and rural areas (Abdi et al, 2016).…”

Background: Malnutrition is generally due to a lack of nutritional information rather than food deficiency. Therefore, the current knowledge, attitudes, and practice (KAP) of the target audience should be evaluated to eliminate malnutrition. However, KAP varies across demographic status and socioeconomic status (SES). Aim: The associations of nutritional KAP with demographic and socioeconomic variables were evaluated among households living in urban and rural areas of southwestern Iran. Methods: A cross-sectional, population-based study was conducted on 842 household heads (492 urban and 350 rural) using a standardized NUTRIKAP Household Questionnaire. The data evaluating nutritional KAP as well as demographic and socioeconomic information were obtained using a multi-stage cluster sampling method. SES score was also computed. Results: Urban households had a higher level of nutritional knowledge ( p < 0.05) but a lower level of nutritional attitude ( p < 0.001) and practice ( p < 0.001) compared with the rural ones. Rural households with the poorest quintiles of SES were 0.4 times less likely to have good nutritional knowledge (adjusted odds ratio = 0.4, confidence interval: 0.2, 0.9; p < 0.05), compared with higher quintiles. Households with an over-60-years-old household head had significantly higher nutritional attitude ( p < 0.05) and practice ( p <0.01) scores than households with younger ones. Households with male household heads had a higher nutritional practice score compared with households with female ones. Conclusions: These results can indicate the role of demographic and socioeconomic determinants in KAP of Iranian households towards the principle of nutrition and can be effective in prioritizing the implementation of nutritional interventions including nutrition education for them.

“…Per capita milk and dairy consumption in Iran is about 139 g/day, which is 20% less than the recommended amount. In contrast, the important point is the over consumption of sweets and fats by pregnant women; in this regard, it is essential for them to hold nutrition classes during pregnancy (48).…”

“…In addition to the risk of health, the incidence of diseases also increase in such people. As a result, foods such as legumes and veggies in the traditional dietary pattern are replaced by high-fat meals, drinks, and sugary foods (48).…”

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.

Background: It has long been recognized that the intake of foods contaminated with chemicals, especially heavy metals can give rise to acute intoxications. The toxic properties of heavy metals are due to their long biological half-lives, as well as non-biodegradable and persistent composition. Considering the importance of the cereal products in the human diet, the present investigation was carried out to assess the human health risk of residue levels of Al, Cr, Pb, and Zn in the domestic and imported spaghetti. Methods: In this descriptive study, 18 samples of Iranian and imported spaghetti were collected from the market in Kermanshah City, Iran, in 2015. After the preparation and processing of the samples in the laboratory, the concentration of metals was determined using the inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy. Then, statistical analyses were performed in SPSS (version 19) by running the Shapiro-Wilk test, one-way ANOVA (Duncan multiple range test), Independent t-test , and Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: The results showed that the mean concentrations of Al, Cr, Pb, and Zn in Iranian spaghetti samples were 655.56±400.35, 211.11±92.80, 2666.67±948.68, and 588.89±116.67 µg/ kg, respectively and in the imported spaghetti samples, these values were 2022.22±1940.86, 677.78±393.0, 3300.0±728.0, and 866.67±685.57 µg/kg, respectively. Moreover, Health Risk Index (HRI) values in adults and children via consumption of Iranian and imported spaghetti were within the safe limits (HRI <1). Conclusion: Considering the serious contamination of some samples of Iranian and imported spaghetti by Al and Pb, the control of heavy metals content during the whole production processing of spaghetti is suggested.
