Abstract

Background: Prior investigators have shown that obesity and other CARDIOVASCULAR RISK FACTORS are influenced by socioeconomic status of subjects in some societies. Lower socioeconomic status could be accompanied by obesity and other CARDIOVASCULAR RISK FACTORS. The present study was conducted on individuals above 20 year sold living in Tehran 13th district in 1998-99 to determine the influence of EDUCATIONAL LEVEL and MARITAL STATUS on DIETARY INTAKE, Body Mass Index (BMI), Waist to Hip Ratio (WHR) and serum lipid profile.Materials and methods: Tehran Glucose and Lipid Study (TGLS) has being conducted on 3-70-year-oldsubjects since 1998.0ur study population included 408 females and 325 males, aged 20-60 years, for whom, a two-day dietary recall was filled. Subjects MARITAL STATUS and EDUCATIONAL LEVEL were recorded, too. Initial data including weight, height, waist circumference, hip circumference, blood pressure, BMI, and WHR were all determined. FBS, 2h-PG load (75g) BS, Cholesterol, triglyceride, and HDL were measured and LDL was calculated according to the Freidwald formula. Subjects EDUCATIONAL LEVEL was divided in four groups of illiterate, guidance school, high school, and higher education. For MARITAL STATUS, we had tow groups of single and married subjects. If EI/BMR ratio (Energy Intake/ Basal Metabolism Rate) was less than 1.27, it was considered as underreporting and the sample was dropped for data analysis. Results: Having age adjusted, WHR and triglyceride level were decreased and HDL, Zn and Vitamin B6 level increased as females EDUCATIONAL LEVEL increased. However, for males, no significant differences were found in different EDUCATIONAL LEVELs. Married males as compared to single ones had higher energy intake (3001±625 vs. 2905±543 kcal) and iron intake (29.5±9 vs. 28.1±10 mg) (p<0.05). Moreover, married females as compared to single ones had higher energy intake (2471±483 vs. 228l±455 kcal), lipid level (89±31 vs. 83±32g), protein level (68±14 vs. 65±16g) and carbohydrate intake (358±77 vs. 324±70g)(p<0.05). Meanwhile, BMI and WHR of married females were significantly higher than single ones (p<0.01). Conclusion: Results have revealed that the EDUCATIONAL LEVEL and MARITAL STATUS are associated with BMI, serum lipid profile, and some DIETARY INTAKE, especially in females. Educational programs are highly recommended for poor-educated or single individuals.
