conclusions considering the high occurrence of the mortality and the injuries of the rtis compared to that of the other types of accidents, more attention to rtis in planning and interventions seems necessary. background road traffic injuries (rtis) are the leading cause of injuries and the second cause of mortality in iran. objectives the aim of this study was to investigate the epidemiologica...

Masters et al. (1) suggested that previous studies have misestimated the age pattern of the mortality risks of obesity. Although prior work has indicated that the mortality risks associatedwith obesity declinewith age,Masters et al. argued that these risks rise with age. The authors reached their conclusion based on a model that included both age at survey and attained age over the follow-up pe...

The pathogenicity of a recent isolate of Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), IR499, isolated from a nonvaccinated flock with 17.5 % mortality rate in susceptible SPF chickens, chickens embryos and broilers was discussed. The molecular characterization of the virus based on the restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) pattern was also investigated. The mortality rates were 85% and 22%...

BACKGROUND The impact of overall dietary patterns that reflect actual eating behaviors on mortality caused by cardiovascular or other chronic diseases is largely unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS We prospectively evaluated the relation between dietary patterns and risk of cardiovascular, cancer, and all-cause mortality among 72,113 women who were free of myocardial infarction, angina, coronary art...

The analysis of dietary patterns emerged recently as a possible approach to examining diet-disease relation. We analysed the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality associated with dietary patterns in men and women, while taking a number of potential confounding variables into account. Data were from a prospective cohort study with follow-up of total and cause-specific mortality. A rando...

BACKGROUND The lifetime prevalence (LTP) of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is the proportion of a population having met criteria for MDD during their life up to the time of assessment. Expectation holds that LTP should increase with age, but this has not usually been observed. Instead, LTP typically increases in the teenage years and twenties, stabilizes in adulthood and then begins to decline...
