Read More BACKGROUND: Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cause of cancer‑related deaths in womenglobally. Currently, many machine learning (ML)‑based predictive models have been established toassist clinicians in decision making for the prediction of BC. However, preventing risk factor formationeven with having healthy lifestyle behaviors or preventing disease at early stages can significantlylead to optimal population‑wide BC health. Thus, we aimed to develop a prediction model by using agenetic algorithm (GA) incorporating several ML algorithms for the prediction and early warning of BC.MATERIAL AND METHODS: The data of 3168 healthy individuals and 1742 patient case recordsin the BC Registry Database in Ayatollah Taleghani hospital, Abadan, Iran were analyzed. First, amodified hybrid GA was used to perform feature selection and optimization of selected features.Then, with the use of selected features, several ML algorithms were trained to predict BC. Afterward,the performance of each model was measured in terms of accuracy, precision, sensitivity, specificity,and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve metrics. Finally, a clinical decision support systembased on the best model was developed.RESULTS: After performing feature selection, age, consumption of dairy products, BC family history,breast biopsy, chest X‑ray, hormone therapy, alcohol consumption, being overweight, having children,and education statuses were selected as the most important features for prediction of BC. Theexperimental results showed that the decision tree yielded a superior performance than other MLmodels, with values of 99.3%, 99.5%, 98.26% for accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity, respectively.CONCLUSION: The developed predictive system can accurately identify persons who are at elevatedrisk for BC and can be used as an essential clinical screening tool for the early prevention of BC andserve as an important tool for developing preventive health strategies.

Read More BACKGROUND: Lifestyle and nutritional transitions in the society driven by globalization have ledto the rising burden of cholelithiasis. The present study was done to assess the impact of lifestyle,stress, menstrual pattern, and cardiometabolic risk factors on young females with cholelithiasis.MATERIALS AND METHODS: A hospital‑based case–control study was conducted on young femalesof 18–45 years. Cases and age‑matched controls were compared on their lifestyle parameters likedemography, marital status, occupation, educational status, family income, stress along with menstrualpattern, cardiometabolic parameters like anthropometric measures, blood pressure (BP), fastingblood sugar (FBS), and lipid profile. Chi‑square test and unpaired t‑test were used for the analysisof data using SPSS software, and P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.RESULTS: The majority of the cases were from rural areas, married, homemakers leading acomparatively sedentary lifestyle consuming more red meat, less literate, and belonged to a lowereconomic group with significantly more stress compared to controls. The age of menarche, neither theregularity nor irregularity of the menstrual cycle (regular cycle 21–35 days), showed any difference,but cases had significantly more pregnancies and usage of oral contraceptives compared to controls.Waist–height ratio, systolic BP, FBS, triglyceride, low‑density lipoprotein (LDL), and very low-densitylipoprotein (VLDL) were significantly higher in cases. Cases had a 14.4 times more risk of developingmetabolic syndrome when compared with controls.CONCLUSION: Married, rural, less literate Indian women leading a sedentary lifestyle, consumingmore of red meat, and soft drinks with increased psychosomatic stress are more prone to developcholelithiasis. Women who use hormonal contraceptives have increased occurrence of cholelithiasisand they were more prone to develop metabolic syndrome. The need for the hour is health education,to implement simple lifestyle changes, thereby decreasing the incidence of cholelithiasis in youngfemales.

Read More BACKGROUND: Gestational diabetes is one of the most common metabolic diseases duringpregnancy. The risk of a lifestyle role in the prevention of metabolic syndrome in women with a historyof gestational diabetes has now been identified. The present study was performed to investigate therelationship between lifestyle and metabolic syndrome in women with a history of gestational diabetes.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present study was a retrospective case–control study that wasperformed on 90 women (45 women with a history of gestational diabetes and 45 women without ahistory of gestational diabetes) in Kerman health centers 5 years after delivery in 2020. Data werecollected using a demographic questionnaire and a standardized Walker lifestyle Health promotingLifestyle profile II questionnaire. The reference laboratory was also used to perform the experiments.SPSS21 software and Spearman’s and Chi‑square tests were used to analyze the data.RESULTS: The mean age was 35.67 in the case group and 34.27 in the control group (P = 0.230).Lifestyle did not show any difference between the two groups (P = 0.058). However, metabolicevaluation was different in the two groups (P = 0.030). Furthermore, the results of Spearman’s testto examine the relationship between lifestyle and other variables studied showed that in the casegroup (P = 0.075) and in the control group (P = 0.819) there was no relationship between lifestyleand metabolic assessments 5 years after delivery.CONCLUSIONS: In case group women, it is possible to prevent the progression to type 2 diabetesand disturb the metabolic assessment by teaching a healthy lifestyle and timely follow‑up afterdelivery. A history of gestational diabetes can be one of the causes of type 2 diabetes and metabolicsyndrome. Getting training to change your lifestyle during pregnancy and postpartum can reduce theincidence of gestational diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Screening pregnant women during childbirthis a good opportunity to diagnose diabetes early and predict it in the coming years.

Read More BACKGROUND: Primary osteoporosis is a common complication of aging and menopause. Thenegative effects of osteoporosis in the coming years will increase by increasing life expectancy andpopulation aging. The purpose of this research was to compare health‑promoting lifestyle and qualityof life in postmenopausal women with and without primary osteoporosis.MATERIALS AND METHODS: This cross‑sectional analytical research was conducted on 445postmenopausal women aged 50–65 selected by simple random sampling in Tabriz health centersfrom September 2018 to July 2019. Data collection instruments included demographic, midwifery,anthropometric, health‑promoting lifestyle profile II and menopausal quality‑of‑life questionnairequestionnaires, and serum test checklist (25‑hydroxy vitamin D, complete blood count/diff,thyroid‑stimulating hormone, fasting blood sugar, Calcium, and Phosphor). Dual‑energy X‑rayabsorptiometry method was used to measure bone density. Data were analyzed using SPSS/23through descriptive and inferential statistics such as Chi‑square, independent t‑test, Mann–Whitney,and multiple regression.RESULTS: The mean score of lifestyle was 141.2 ± 21.9 in normal and 127.2 ± 25.4 in osteoporosisgroup, and differences were statistically significant in total score (P < 0.001) and all subdomains.The mean score of quality of life was 3.9 ± 1.2 in the normal and 4.5 ± 1.4 in the osteoporotic group.The differences were significant in total score (P < 0.001) and all subdomains except for sexualfunction subdomain (P = 0.064). Logistic regression adjusted for confounders indicated by one unitincrease in total lifestyle score, the odds of primary osteoporosis reduced by 2.2% (adjusted oddsratio [0.95% confidence interval]: 0.978 [0.963–0.994], P = 0.006).CONCLUSION: To prevent of primary osteoporosis and improve the quality of life of postmenopausalwomen, it seems that education and implementation of health‑promoting lifestyle are essential.
