While the Ministry of Health and Medical Education oversees the project, investigators at local universities carry it out. These include the Universities of Medical Sciences in Ahvaz, Ardabil, Bandar Abbas, Fasa, Guilan, Kermanshah, Kordestan, Mashhad, Mazandaran, Rafsanjan, Sabzevar, Shahrekord, Shiraz, Tabriz, Urmia, Yasuj, Yazd, and Zahedan. PERSIAN was designed to represent all of the major ethnic groups living in different geographical areas of Iran (Figure 1), enabling it to capture a wide range of environmental diversity, lifestyle, and socioeconomic differences, as well as many other exposures influencing disease patterns that maybe very unique to one area or highly prevalent in another. The PERSIAN Cohort baseline data collection consists of 32 questionnaires divided into 3 major parts: general, medical, and nutrition. Each part is administered by a trained interviewer and all study centers used the same devices and protocols for all data collection/measurements. Variables from each questionnaire are listed in the corresponding tables in this document. Each table includes 6 columns as defined below: 1. V Code: the unique code for each variable 2. Variable Name: the name given to each variable in the database 3. Variable Type: the type of variable as follows: . Categorical: for qualitative variables with more than 2 categories . Dichotomous: for qualitative variables with 2 categories . Discrete: for quantitative variables with integer values . Continuous: for quantitative variables with decimal . Characteristic: for variables which contain characters . Date: for date variables including month/day/year 4. Description: a brief description of the variable 5. Coding/Unit: the coding label for categorical and dichotomous variables and measurement units for continuous variables 6. Comment: includes any pertinent information, if necessary. 5 Figure 1.

Chamran University, Ahwaz, Iran The Gotvand reservoir dam is located at SW of Iran where the Karun River orients from the Zagros Mountains. The nominal volume is 5,500 million cubic meters. It is a rock-fills dam with clay core. The height of crown is about 180 m with 130 m normal water depth. Depth from bottom (0-30 m), the water layer’s electrical conductivity (EC) will be as 150,000 to 85,000 mµ/cm. Also the EC will decrease from depth (85-30 m) corresponding the water layer’s EC between 85,000 to 20,000 µm/cm. Finally, at depth (30-0.0 m) the EC is controlled with values (15,000-1,000 µm/cm). The salty domes will produce unexpected salty sediments into reservoirs. Consulting engineering said that more than 8,000,000 tons of pure salt sediments were interned into the Gotvand Lake reservoir from 2011 through 2015. If this regime of salty material continues, downstream agricultural lands will completely disturb and disuses.

Methods: This study was conducted on neonates who were born from March 21, 2006 to March 20, 2011 and had undergone the congenital hypothyroidism (CH) screening program in counties affiliated to the Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. CH was diagnosed in 958 patients who treated with levothyroxine. The incidence rates of permanent and temporary congenital hypothyroidism in Isfahan province were calculated and their distribution was shown on the map. The space maps were drawn using the ArcGIS software version 9.3. Results: Based on the data obtained from the screening program, the average incidence of congenital hypothyroidism in the province during the period of 2006–2011 was 2.40 infants per 1000 live births (including both PCH and TCH). The most common occurrence was in Ardestan County (10:1000) and the lowest overall incidence was observed in the Fereydounshahr county (1.39:1000). The incidence of PCH in the counties of Ardestan and Golpayegan had the highest rate in all years of study; and the greatest number of TCH cases in the five years were observed in Nain, Natanz, Khansar and Chadegan counties.
