With increase in fat and over weight in children and its undesirable effects on different organisms of the body and since many of the sicknesses are due to overweight and with the loos of the weight these sicknesses disappear, and on the other hand with mal nutrition and underweight in children other kinds of sicknesses such as derogation of body's security system, frequent infection, insufficient growth, shortness, and delay in maturity etc…. are some of the signs of being under weight. Therefore recognition of signs of overweight and underweight and their prevalence in children are important. To determine this difficulty we have used the body mass index as screening tool since it is very prevalent and a good and important guide and has a very good relation with body fat in children.In this study 2321 students from primary schools in Behbahan have been chosen randomly and evaluated by height and weight and their body mass index have been calculated and then recorded on the BMI percentile diagram which is for age and gender. The following results were obtained:The amount of total fat, over weight and slimness are 9.3, 12.1 and 12.32 percent respectively. Therefore 21.4% of the children were over weighted. It did not show any meaningful statistical relation in fat conditions among boys and girls, but there has been a meaningful statistical relation in slimness among boys and girls.

Today, more than any other time, is focused on role of nutrition on human health. Malnutrition in early childhood could create short structure men and women with limited physical capacity and low Intelligence Quotient. Therefore, studies about growth and its affecting factors are very important for social, economical and health policies.A total of 1620 children( 638 girls and 681 boys) under 7 years in all day care centers and health centers in Rasht city were studied using a cross sectional design. Data on demographic and family history such as mothers’ educational levels, employment status were collected. Height for age, weight for age and weight for height of the children were compared to NCHS reference population of United State and Z-score values £-2 were considered as stunted, underweight and wasted, respectively. Overweight was defined as weight- for- height>/= 90th percentile and obesity defined as weight- for- height>/= 95th percentile. Epi 2000 and SPSS 11.5 soft wars were used for data analyzis. The data showed that prevalence of stunting, wasting and underweight were 8.5%, 6.1% and 6.5%, respectively. Also The prevalence of overweight was 4% and prevalence of obesity was 9.4%. Results of multivariable regression analysis showed that mother’s education, mother’s employment, parent’s height were affecting factors on children’s height and mother’s education and parent’s weight were affecting factors on children’s weight(r<0.00001).Prevalence of malnutrition was higher in the children of both less and highly educated mothers in comparison to children from mothers with an intermediate level of education. Family-based interventions are needed to prevent malnutrition and its long-term consequences in this population.

Coronary heart disease is a growing health problem in the world. CHD, which consists of multiple interrelated risk factors, as well as lifestyle, increases the risk for mortality.A cross sectional study has been made with 494 women. A questionnaire was filled and demographic factors, weight and height and BP, baseline waist circumference (W.C) measured. We examined association between BMI and WHR with demographic factors, physical exercise, and quality of sleep and systolic and diastolic blood pressure.Prevalence of overweight and obesity and WHR were 30 %, 11.3 % and 83.8%.WHR. BMI increased with age and were higher in those who had upper levels of DBP, SBP, disease, hyperlipidemi, variant shift working and other factors. The study highlights high prevalence of abdominal obesity and BMI in woman.Cardiovascular diseases are associated with risks factors such as obesity and dyslipidemia. In this study, a high prevalence of overweight was observed. Physical activity was also shown to be inadequate. In conclusion, the potential for cardiovascular and metabolic health problems in future is high. It is recommended that an intervention, based on the results of the study, should and must be developed and implemented. The more challenging question is to know what to do and how to do it. A framework is suggested to guide the development of an intervention.

The descriptive statistics was used in this research to examine the level of students' susceptibility. A T-test was used to compare their susceptibilities regarding gender, marital status, and their place of living. And finally the test of variance analysis was applied to explore the different levels of students' vulnerability based on their majors (field of study) in the university. The students' mean scores respectively are: Paranoid Ideations (1.59), Depression (1.33), Obsessive Compulsion (1.27), Interpersonal Sensitivity (1.16), Anxiety (1.2), somaticization (1.14), Psychosis (1.03), Hostility (0.97), Phobic Anxiety (1.2),Global Severity Index (1.19), and Positive Symptom Distress Index ( 1.95).Comparing the results based on gender indicates a more susceptibility of female students than male ones in most cases. It is also noticed that the students of agriculture have significantly higher vulnerability than others regarding their majors. The difference of mean scores shows that non-Azari language students have higher susceptibility in Positive Symptom Distress Index than Azari language students.
