Background& Objectives: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in the women and, since nutrition is one of the factors in thise disease, the present study was conducted to assess the effect of energy, macro nutrients and antioxidants intake in women on the breast cancer in Sabzevar. Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 125woman with breast cancer in Sabzevarin 2011. Census sampling was done in homes by volunteers and referral of suspected women to mammography, ultra sound and radiology clinicand, also, and Sabzevar center of cancer statisticsforexaminationand diagnosis of breast cancer. After writting informed consent by patients, a demographic questionnaire and semi-quantitative frequency of 160 foods wascompleted by the trained interviewers. The obtained nutritional information was analysedusing the Software Nutritioni IV. Descriptive statistics, frequency, one-sample t-test and non-parametric X2 tests were assessed using SPSS 16 software, and PResults: The mean BMI of patients was 22.5±5.7 kg/m2, the average age of women was 50.7 ± 1years, mean of the first menstrual period was 13.2±1.6 years and mean of menopause 46.4±4.7years. Dietary assessment showed mean of energy, protein, fat and carbohydrate intakes were 2309±1389.24, 64.26±19.05, 65.84±21.70 and 363.79± 154.72 ,respectively (P<0.05). Also, in this study, energy and macronutrients intakeswere rather than dietary standard values, andantioxidants of vitamin A, E, C and selenium intake were less than dietary standard values in women. Conclusion: The findings showed that energy and macronutrients intakesrather than dietary standard values, and antioxidants intake was less than dietary standard values in women.

Background: Nutrition is considered as the most important in hypertension control however, little information is available about the nutritional status of hypertensive patients in our country. This study was aimed to determine the predictive power of perceived benefits, barriers, self efficacy and knowledge from fat intake and received dietary energy.
Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 671 rural hypertensive patients with using multistage random sampling method in Ardabil city in 2013. Data were collected by a valid and reliable questionnaire with interview method. Nutritional data were extracted by Nutritionist 4 software and analyzed the SPSS 18 software using Pearson correlation, multiple linear regressions, ANOVA and independent T-test.
Results: the mean of total fat, saturated fat and energy were 92.1±27.1, 32.3±9.7 and 2539.4±398.9 respectively. Total fat, saturated fat and energy had a negative significant correlation with perceived benefits and self efficacy and a positive significant correlation with perceived barriers. Perceived barriers, benefits, efficacy and knowledge predicted 20.9% of the energy change variations, 32.42% of the changes in saturated fat intake and 25.7 of the change in fat intake.
Conclusions: Dietary perceptions in the framework of perceived benefits, barriers, self-efficacy and knowledge could explain of total fat and saturated fat and energy intake in acceptable range.
