Introduction: Obesity is prevalent in the Middle East and its resulted handicaps are the main nutritional and health issues. The present study was designed to investigate the relationship between insecurity with body mass index in Urmia. Methods: In this study, 453 female students were selected by multi-stage sampling. Anthropometric indices including height, weight and waist circumference were measured using standard methods and calibrated instruments. Food insecurity was determined using a Radiometer/ Cornell questionnaire. Results: Regarding food security, there was no significant difference between obese and normal weight subjects. Food security (P = 0.04) were directly related to underweight. In the multiple logistic regression model food insecurity had inverse association with it (OR = 0.642, 85% CI (0.48 – 0.68), P = 0.033). Conclusion: The results of this study show that food security was associated with an increased risk of underweight.

Abstract
Background: Changing in anthropometrics index can cause a reduction in the balance of body and may be considered as a contributing factor in falling down. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the correlation between body mass index (BMI) and static and dynamic postural balance among healthy subjects.

Background: Changing in anthropometrics index can cause a reduction in the balance of body and may be considered as a contributing factor in falling down. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the correlation between body mass index (BMI) and static and dynamic postural balance among healthy subjects.
Materials and Methods: Fifty healthy male and female University students were selected through simple non-probability sampling. Static and dynamic stability index were measured by means of Biodex Balance System and also a tape measure and non-digital scale were used to examine Anthropometrics index. Obtained data were analyzed through Independent t-test and Pearson Correlation test(p0.05) (for example: the overall static stability index r= 0.21, p=0.30 in male group) while, there was observed a significant correlation between dynamic stability index and BMI, Weight and Height variables among male and female groups (p

Purpose: Diabetes mellitus is a common chronic disease with a prevalence of 1 to 2% in the world. It predisposes to other disease, such as cardiovascular diseases. This study was conducted to examine some of the problems of these patients.
Methods and Material: 334 subjects (109 male and 225 female) were randomly selected as study samples. Having responded to a questionnaire including economic and social questions, the subjects were examined to measure their height and weight as well as some biochemical tests.
Results: The findings revealed that 24.9% suffered from type I and 75.1% form type II diabetes; 31% were illiterate and 47% were of elementary education. In 49.9% of the type I sufferers and 85.2% of the type II sufferers, BMI was above 25. Ale hemoglobin was over 8% in 85.3% of the subjects. FBS higher than 110 mg/dl was observed in 73.2% and 86.4% of type I and type II sufferers respectively. The cholesterol level was higher than 259 in 9.1% and 27.3%; and triglyceride level was higher than 170 mg/dl in type I and II sufferers respectively.
Conclusion: Therefore, as a high percentage (75%) of the patients were from type II sufferers with no appropriate care giving, a suitable training schedule is necessary to control the weight, sugar and cholesterol as well as other indexes of patients attended diabetes clinics.
