Abstract

Background and purpose: The aim of the present research was to investigate the mediating role of self-esteem, emotional eating and self-control in relation with attachment, anxiety, depression and parenting style on obesity and overweight in adolescent girls.

Materials and methods: A descriptive study was conducted in all female students aged 14-17 years old living in Tehran. Cluster sampling was done by which 440 students were selected. Data was collected using Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS), Baumrind parenting styles questionnaire, Harry self-esteem scale, Self-control scale, Inventory of parent and peer attachment (IPPA), and Emotional Eating Scale (EES). Data was analyzed applying Pearson's correlation, path analysis and structural equation model.

Results: The findings indicated a positive correlation between emotional eating style and obesity (0.84) and a negative correlation between mother, father, and peer attachments and obesity (-0.72, -0.71, and 0.70, respectively). An indirect relationship was found between reactionary parenting style and obesity. The results of path analysis indicate emotional eating as the mediator variant between parenting style, anxiety and depression with obesity and overweight and self-esteem is a mediator variant between parenting style with obesity.

Conclusion: This study showed cognitive mechanisms in incidence of obesity and overweight in adolescent girls. Therefore, considering these factors could help researchers and psychologists in preventing such problems and using appropriate treatments.

Abstract

 Background and purpose: Hypertension is a global health challenge due to its high prevalence and increased risk of cardiovascular disease. It is a multifactorial disease in which both genetic and environmental factors are involved. So far, a number of genes and pathways have been proposed to be associated with HTN, including the nitric oxide/cGMP pathway. To further clarify the role of NO /cGMP in the pathogenesis of HTN and also to find genetic determinants of predisposition to HTN in Kermanshah province, Iran, we aimed to investigate the association between three key points in nitric oxide signaling pathway, namely eNOS, GUCY1A3, and PDE1A genes, and susceptibility to hypertension.
Materials and methods: In this case-control study, a total of 130 patients and 110 healthy subjects were enrolled. Three polymorphisms (rs1799983 in eNOS gene, rs13139571 in GUCY1A3 genes and rs16823124 in PDE1A gene) were investigated by PCR-RFLP method. Data were then statistically analyzed.
Results: This study showed a significant association between the genotypic and allelic frequencies of the rs1799983 polymorphism in the eNOS gene and the rs13139571 gene in GUCY1A3 (P<0.05), while there was no significant association with PDE1A (P>0.05). However, the interaction with the other two SNPs may confer susceptibility to hypertension.
