Based on studies, the prevalence of CH in Iran has been reported to be about 2 per 1000 live births, which is much higher than the global average (4.25 per 10,000 births). One possible reason for this difference is the high rate of consanguineous marriages in the country. Various studies have investigated the factors affecting the incidence of CH in Iran, which have reported contradictory results regarding the role of various factors such as mode of delivery, maternal age, month of birth, parental education level, and iodine exposure.
The aforementioned study is descriptive-analytical and examines the epidemiology of metabolic diseases in individuals referring to healthcare centers in Isfahan Province.

In this project, researchers will compare the antibacterial activitiy of Lucilia Sericata larvae secretions/extractions against a common gram-positive and a common gram-negative bacteria isolated from diabetic foot ulcers with those of topical antibiotic preparations. They also determine the minimum inhibitory concentration, minimum bactericidal concentration and antibiofilm activity of Lucilia Sericata larvae secretions and extractions.

Regarding the high prevalence of pre-diabetes in Iran, the Isfahan Endocrine and Metabolism Research Center is preparing a research project on prevention of cardiometabolic disorders. Participants will be male and female residents of three areas of the Isfahan city aged ≥20 years. After screening the study population based on risk factors and the results of FBS, those with increased risk will be evaluated further by OGTT. According to the OGTT results, participants will be classified in different groups with different interventions.
The design of a large scale research project entitled “Evaluation of Bone Health Status in Female Population Aged ≥ 40 Years“ will be completed soon at the Isfahan Endocrine and Metabolism Research Center. During the Study, the researchers will evaluate the fracture risk score of the female population aged ≥ 40 years living in three areas of the Isfahan city, each covered by an urban health care center. According to the calculated fracture risk scores, the participants will be divided into normal, osteopenic and osteoprotic groups and will receive different interventions.
