Background: Disease latency is defined as the time from disease initiation to disease diagnosis. Disease latency bias (DLB) can arise in epidemiological studies that examine latent outcomes, since the exact timing of the disease inception is unknown and might occur before exposure initiation, potentially leading to bias. Although DLB can affect epidemiological studies that examine different types of chronic disease (e.

Despite numerous case reports of acute pigmentary degeneration of the iris with fluoroquinolone use, a pharmacoepidemiological study has not been performed to examine and quantify this risk.
Design: Retrospective cohort study with a case-control analysis.
Purpose: The Kharameh cohort study (KHCS) is one branch of the 'Prospective Epidemiological Research Studies in Iran', located in the south of Iran. The enrolment phase of KHCS spanned from April 2015 to March 2017, during which urban and rural residents of Kharameh were enrolled in the study. KHCS aims to investigate the incidence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases and cancer, and its related risk factors in a 15-year follow-up.

Background: General and central obesity are important risk factors for chronic diseases and health-related outcomes.
Aims: We determined the prevalence of obesity and related complications among individuals aged 40-70 years in Kherameh, southern Islamic Republic of Iran.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 10 663 people aged 40-70 years who participated in the first phase of the Kherameh cohort study.
Obesity is an increasing problem that can lead to noncommunicable diseases. The role of dietary factors on one's obesity is confirmed in many studies. One nutritional approach that can be used for assessment of the foods and diets is the Index of Nutritional Quality (INQ).

Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed the prevalence and risk factors of kidney stones in southern Iran, using data from over 10,000 adults aged 40-70 from the Kharameh Cohort Study.
- The findings revealed a kidney stone prevalence of 21.11%, with higher rates in men, people with diabetes, hypertension, fatty liver, and certain socio-economic statuses.
- The research highlights the need for awareness and management of underlying health conditions to help reduce the risk of kidney stones, especially in vulnerable demographics.
Article Synopsis
- A study in southern Iran assessed the prevalence of multimorbidity, defined as having two or more chronic diseases, in 10,663 individuals aged 40-70, finding a prevalence of 24.4%.
- Key risk factors identified include age (particularly 45-55 and over 55), obesity, and higher socioeconomic status, while factors like higher education and physical activity seem to offer protective benefits.
- The findings highlight the need for targeted interventions focusing on weight management and chronic disease treatment, especially for older adults to address this public health concern.
Article Synopsis
- The prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is rising globally, and a study using Kherameh cohort data analyzed its occurrence and risk factors among 10,663 adults aged 40-70.
- The age-standardized prevalence rates revealed CVD affects 10.39% of males and 10.21% of females, with higher rates associated with high blood pressure, smoking, opium use, obesity, and other factors.
- Significant predictors of CVD included age, with individuals aged 50-60 at greater risk, as well as lifestyle choices such as smoking and opium use, underscoring the need for targeted health interventions in the region.
