Abstract Introduction The relationship between childhood obesity and later chronic diseases is evident. In Iran, whilst childhood obesity is a recognised increasing public health problem, no evidence for effective prevention strategies are available. Aim and objectives The aim was to inform the development of an obesity prevention intervention for Iranian school children, which could be later tested as part of a randomised controlled trial. Objective included: To develop and validate a semi-quantitative food ticklist to estimate energy intake in children. To examine the pattern, and factors associated with obesity in school children. To explore contextual influences on childhood obesity and to gain insights on barriers and facilitators that would help tailor the intervention.

  • Beyond Your Dreams Beyond Your Dreams
    Beyond your dreams Beyond your dreams Destınatıon Iran Iran Iran is an incredibly culturally and historically rich country. Its past dates back to the Lower Paleolithic era and is considered to be one of the oldest civilizations in the world, which means it is home to some of the most incredible archaeological sites on the planet. On the other hand, a little known fact about Iran is that it is the 18th largest country in the world, and its size and geographic location bridge Asia and the Middle East. These attributes make Iran a fascinating and diverse place to visit and explore. Iran was known as Persia until 1935 and their long and colorful history of literature, mathematics, astronomy, and philosophy is well documented. Persia was an important center of arts and music, and the amazing history can still be seen today. Today, Iran is officially known as the Islamic Republic of Iran, but since its political history has been tumultuous, the number of western travelers to the country is limited, adding to its mysticism. Beyond your dreams How to get there? T h e r e i s o n e m a i n international airport in Iran, Imam Khomeini, which is the main gateway for visitors to the country. There are currently no direct flights from North America so visitors can connect through Europe or the Middle East in Vienna, Frankfurt, Istanbul, Dubai, Kuwait, or Abu Dhabi. Airlines that currently fly into Tehran include: Jazeera Airways, Iran Air, Caspian Airlines, Austrian Air, Air Arabia, Lufthansa, and Pegasus Airlines.

She had not. At 17, she fed Iran during the 1979 Islamic Revolution as a political refugee. She is now one of thousands of Jewish Iranians contributing to the vibrant Persian diaspora community in Los Angeles. I asked her to recount the moment she knew she had to leave Iran. It was the last day that I attended high school back home, the revolution was growing. I went to a private school—me and my siblings were one of very few Jews and all of my friends were Muslim. So when the revolution started happening, the teachers started preaching to the kids, so I stood up in the class and said, “If you guys go this way, and you want the revolution to actually happen, we’re all going to go under chador and lose our rights as women. You’re not going to have any rights, you’re gonna go back so many years.” And my best friend all throughout school stood up and said, “You dirty Jew, you can’t tell us what to do.” That was the moment that I knew this is not where I belong anymore.
