en Background: Due to the importance of nutrition during pregnancy and its role in future generations' health, the study tried to determine dietary diversity and its relationship with newborns' anthropometric indices at birth. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 400 pregnant women (28-40 weeks of pregnancy) whom were referred to the health centers in Zahedan were studied in 2016. To assess the usual dietary intake, food frequency questionnaire and the 24-hour recall were used. Dietary diversity was calculated based on the score 8 of food groups using food pyramid of Food and Agriculture Department, and Kant method. Newborns' anthropometric indices were measured by the standard and analyzed by using descriptive statistics and analytical tests. Results: The mean (± Standard deviation) of the total score of dietary diversity was 2.60 ± 0.73 and the highest diversity was seen in the dairy group (0.45 ± 0.19) and the lowest diversity of food was observed in grains group (0.20 ± 0.10). There was a significant difference between various groups of birth weight at the score of dietary diversity and it was significantly increased by rising family's incomes. The linear regression analysis has shown that the variables including; weight at the beginning of pregnancy, a variety of dairy products, vegetables and total dietary diversity could be considered for predicting birth weight. Conclusion: The study has shown that there was a significant correlation between the score of dietary diversity and newborns' anthropometric indices at birth Birth weight, Dietary diversity, Pregnancy 116 122 http://jnfs.ssu.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1-89&slc_lang=en&sid=1 2017/04/102017/10/28 1396/8/6 2017/08/302018/02/14 1396/11/25 Atena Jamalzehi Department of Nutrition, School of Public Health, Qazvin University of Medical Sciences, Qazvin, Iran Yes Maryam Javadi Department of Nutrition, School of Public Health, Qazvin University of Medical Sciences, Qazvin, Iran No Alireza Dashipour Department of Nutrition and Food Science, School of Medicine, Zahedan University of Medical Sciences, Zahedan, Iran No

en Background: Given that abdominal obesity increases the risk of affecting metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, this study was conducted to determine the relationship between energy and macronutrient intake with women's abdominal obesity in Sabzevar. Methods: In this study, 225 female nurses and medical staff in Vase’e hospital of Sabzevar were selected. In order to assess the dietary intake, data were gathered by completing food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Anthropometric indices including: height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference of the samples was measured according to standard guideline and waist to hip circumference ratio (WHR) and body mass index (BMI) were calculated. The WHR > 0.8 was considered as abdominal obesity. The level of significance was (P < 0.05). Results: The result showed that of the waist mean circumference was 80.73 ± 12.58 cm, hip circumference was 102.29 ± 11.57 cm and women's WHR was 0.87 ± 0.15. The mean of energy, fat, protein, carbohydrate and cholesterol intake in assessed women was more than the standard dietary intake. There was no significant relationship between abdominal obesity and energy and macronutrient intake. Conclusions: This study showed that the incidence of female abdominal obesity is high and energy and macronutrient intake is recommended more than the standard. This problem emphasizes the necessity of converting dietary habits and pattern of worker women in order to enhance dietary status and reducing obesity Abdominal obesity, Energy, Macronutrients, Women 123 129 http://jnfs.ssu.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1-90&slc_lang=en&sid=1 2017/04/102017/10/282017/12/30 1396/10/9 2017/08/302018/02/142018/05/26 1397/3/5 Akram Kooshki Department of Biochemistry & Nutrition, School of Medicine, Sabzevar University of Medical Sciences, Sabzevar, Iran.

fa Background: Considering the effectiveness of green tea and Melissa officinalis in reducing weight and blood pressure in past studies, this study aimed to compare the effects of green tea and Melissa officinalis on blood pressure and weight in welders. Methods: This is a single-blind crossover clinical trial. Twenty welders from a workshop entered the study. Green tea and Melissa officinalis infusions (4 g/d) were provided 2 times a day for 4 weeks in random order with a 3-week washout. Measurements were performed at the beginning and the end of each intervention. The environmental pollution of the workshop was measured by the professional health engineer at the beginning. Results: The diet and black tea intake were not different during the interventions (P > 0.05). Physical activity was not different throughout the study, although the intensity of physical activity was higher in the Melissa officinalis period (12.31 ± 12.89 versus 60.00 ± 33.95 min/ week; P = 0.06). Weight, body mass index and diastolic blood pressure decreased during the period of Melissa officinalis consumption and there was a slight increase during the green tea period (P > 0.05). Conclusions: It is likely that one month of consumption of Melissa officinalis is as effective as green tea in changing weight and blood pressure, and therefore they can be a good alternative to each other Blood pressure, Green tea, Melissa officinalis, Weight, Welder 130 138 http://jnfs.ssu.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1-91&slc_lang=en&sid=1 2017/04/102017/10/282017/12/302017/07/24 1396/5/2 2017/08/302018/02/142018/05/262017/11/5 1396/8/14 Fateme Jafari Nutrition and Food Security Research Center, Department of Nutrition, School of Public health, Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences, Yazd, Iran.

en Background: Chicken fillets contain essential amino acids besides many minerals and vitamins, which are necessary for maintaining life and promoting growth. Moreover, it is low in calories and cholesterol; therefore, it can be used for feeding infants, young children, and some patients. Methods: Chicken fillets were initially coated by dipping in different concentrations of chitosan (1.0%, 1.5%, and 2.0%), and then the shelf life of coated samples was investigated under refrigeration storage (4 ± 1 °C) for 15 days. The control (uncoated) and coated samples were analyzed periodically for bacteriological, pH value, and sensory characteristics. Results: The sensory evaluation results correlated with the microbial analyses. Chitosan-coated samples achieved a shelf-life extension of 12 days at chilled storage temperature (4 ± 1 °C) whereas the non-coated samples had a shelf life of 3 days at the same storage temperature. There were no significant organoleptic changes within the chitosan-coated samples (P > 0.05). The pH values of all coated samples were significantly lower than the control group (P < 0.05). However, the obtained data revealed that chicken fillets samples coated with chitosan (1.0%, 1.5%, and 2.0%) led to a significant reduction (P < 0.05) of the total aerobic bacterial count (TBC), total Enterobacteriaceae, and total Staphylococcus counts along the storage period. Conclusion: The present study established that application of chitosan coating on chicken fillets could have a potential for preserving the microbiological quality and enhancing sensory attributes during chilled storage.

en Background: Knowledge regarding distribution and determinants of household food insecurity focusing on vulnerable groups is utmost important for ensuring food security, which is every nation prime agenda. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and determinants of household food insecurity among the tribal population of Purulia, West Bengal. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among 134 tribal households covering a total 632 population selected from 3 administrative divisions of Purulia district by two-stage random sampling. Information collected on selected demographic and socio-economic profile of the households including utilization of public distribution system (PDS) by house-to-house interview. A Bengali version of validated household food security scale-short form was used as a tool for data collection. Furthermore, the anthropometry was carried out among the children aged 6-59 months. Results: The results showed that the prevalence of household food insecurity was 35.8% in the study area. Households with lower socio-economic status, kutcha houses, low income related to the family members, holding of below poverty line (BPL), and ration card were significantly associated with the household food insecurity. Prevalence of under-weight and stunting among 6-59 months children were found significantly more among food insecure households. Conclusions: In-spite of several efforts, household food insecurity was quite prevalent especially among vulnerable poor households. Therefore, it shows that food security along with poverty reduction activities are required to be increased at the household level Determinants, Household food insecurity, India, Tribal population 149 156 http://jnfs.ssu.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1-93&slc_lang=en&sid=1 2017/04/102017/10/282017/12/302017/07/242018/02/172018/03/20 1396/12/29 2017/08/302018/02/142018/05/262017/11/52018/05/282018/05/28 1397/3/7 Shamima Yasmin Department of Community Medicine, Midnapore Medical College, Midnapore, India Yes Abantika Bhattacharya Department of Community Medicine, Midnapore Medical College, Midnapore, India No Nirmalya Sinha Department of Community Medicine, Midnapore Medical College, Midnapore, India.

fa Background: According to traditional beliefs, chamomile products have anti-depression effect. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of chamomile tea on glycemic control, depression status and lipid profiles in type 2 diabetes (T2D) with depression. Methods: This randomized clinical trial was carried out on 74 depressed patients with T2D. Participants were randomly divided into two 37-people groups, chamomile tea (CG) and black tea group (BG). The CG received 3 cups of chamomile tea daily and the BG received 3 cups of black tea daily half an hour after meals for 12 weeks. To examine the status of depression, Beck II test was utilized. Anthropometric measurements, 24-h dietary recalls, glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and blood lipids profile were measured at the baseline and at the end of the intervention. Results: The HbA1c mean was significantly reduced in CG after the intervention, when compared with BG (7.15 ± 1.23% vs. 7.98 ± 1.76%, P = 0.02). In the same vein, the mean changes in CG and BG were -0.74 ± 1.29 and 0.04 ± 1.07 (P = 0.006), respectively. No significant changes were observed in mean of serum lipids within and between groups. The Beck score also showed a significant reduction in the CG after the intervention (P < 0.001) and also, the mean changes showed a significant difference between the two groups. Conclusions: The results of this study demonstrated that drinking three cups of chamomile tea daily for 12 weeks by T2D suffering from depression lead to improve glycemic control and depression state. Therefore, drinking this kind of tea by these patients is recommended Chamomile, Depression, Diabetes mellitus, Serum lipids 157 166 http://jnfs.ssu.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1-94&slc_lang=en&sid=1 2017/04/102017/10/282017/12/302017/07/242018/02/172018/03/202017/04/8 1396/1/19 2017/08/302018/02/142018/05/262017/11/52018/05/282018/05/282017/09/13 1396/6/22 Sahar Kermanian Department of Nutrition, School of Public Health, Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences, Yazd, Iran Yes Hassan Mozaffari-Khosravi Department of Nutrition, School of Public Health, Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences, Yazd, Iran No Ghasem Dastgerdi Department of General Psychiatry, School of Medicine, Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences, Yazd, Iran.

en Background: This review aimed to express the exact role of nutrition components including carbohydrates, fats, proteins and other dietary factors such as probiotics, micro and macro nutrients and the life pattern including body weight in the development of dental caries. Methods: Carbohydrate”, “fat”, “protein”, “vitamin and mineral”, “probiotics” and “lifestyle”, along with “dental caries”, “cavitation” and “or dental cavitation were searched in PubMed, SCOPUS and  Web of sciences databases.  Results: In this study, 28 articles were included; since cariogenic effects of fermentable carbohydrate containing foods and the amount and frequency of consuming such foods have been known, recommendations to replace sugar with starchy foods to avoid dental caries are of questionable value; vitamins and minerals are important in controlling the occurrence of oral inflammation and enhancement of immunity; fat containing foods that play a role as bacterial adherence could be induced by hydrophobic interactions which get facilitated by a lipid-rich environment. Although there are differences in the salivary lipid content of caries-sustainable and caries-resistant individuals, a meta-analysis showed that there was a moderate association between dental caries and the salivary lipid content. Proteins also are known as cariostatic agents; however, their effects might differ according to their types of amino-acids. Probiotics might play beneficial roles as antagonistic agents on acidogenic bacteria that will reduce dental decay. Sedentary lifestyles among children associated with an increased consumption of unhealthy diet rich in sugar can increase the risk of both weight gain and dental caries. Conclusions: Specific programs focusing on health promotion and education strategies are needed.
