Short sleep is associated with higher prevalence and increased predicted risk of cardiovascular diseases in an Iranian population: Fasa PERSIAN Cohort Study
It can be said that short sleep is related to higher prevalence and increased risk of cardiovascular diseases in the Iranian population.
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. One of the common factors that may affect cardiovascular disease risk factors is sleep disorder. Factors affecting a person’s sleep may be different in different cultures. In this research, which was conducted on more than 10,000 residents of the Shasheda region of Fasa. The results showed that people who sleep less than 6 hours have a higher prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, including heart attacks and high blood pressure, than people who sleep 7-8 hours a day. Also, the researchers of this study stated that after calculating the 10-year cardiovascular risk of people, it was observed that people who sleep less than 6 hours have a higher risk of developing cardiovascular diseases in the next 10 years than people who sleep 7-8 hours.
Following the Famenin brucellosis cohort studies
Following the Famenin brucellosis cohort studies, we designed some another research programs to gain more extra data about the risk factors related the Brucellosis disease in Famenin.
Our main projects are as below:
- Evaluation of the incidence, relapse, clinical manifestations and complications of brucellosis during two years among participants in the brucellosis cohort study of Famenin.
- Confirmation the results of seropositive samples collected from Famenin brucellosis cohort and determination of their species by PCR technique.
- Investigation and follow up of brucellosis disease in seropositive participants in Famenin cohort of brucellosis and their families using culture and serology methods.
- A survey of seroprevalence of brucellosis in domestic livestock (cattle, sheep and goats) in Famenin city, 2019.
- Evaluation of Brucella infection in milk of domestic animals of Famenin city and its comparison with the results of serological tests in the same animal population.
- Investigation and evaluation of dietary exposure to tetracycline, oxitetraciclin and chlortetracycline antibiotic residues in domestic animal’s milk in Famenin.
- Isolation of Brucella bacteria from positive serological samples collected from Hamadan province and Famenin brucellosis cohort by culture and genetically confirmation and determination of their species by PCR technique.
