Abstract
Introduction: Hypertension is described as one of the risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The prevalence of hypertension is growing among developing countries. In this study, the prevalence of hypertension was studied in individuals who referred to blood transfusion center of Ilam city.
Materials and methods: The present descriptive analytical study was performed based on available data. The sample files were related to 4005 cases. Blood pressure was measured by using the standard method 15 minutes after the individuals attained to blood transfusion center. Data by data were analyzed by using SPSS software and appropriate statistical tests including chi-square and ANOVA. P<0.05 was considered as significant.
Results: Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were significantly associated with age (P<0.001). There was a significant correlation between systolic blood pressure with gender (P<0.05), but there was no association between diastolic blood pressure with gender. Men significantly had higher systolic blood pressure than women (P<0.05). In addition, in both genders among aged over 40, systolic blood pressure was significantly lower, compared to aged less than 40 (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Overall, this study demonstrated that prevalence of hypertension is high in Ilam city and a detailed applicable plan in order to change in lifestyle among people to controlling and reducing of hypertension.

Abstract
Introduction: Genetic variation between individuals may include single nucleotide polymorphisms. These individual differences could change human phenotypes (such as skeletal structure, heart and lung size). Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is a critical factor in growth and exercise-associated muscle development. In this study we analyzed the frequency of IGF-I rs35767 polymorphism in karate-Kas athletes to find whether there is a difference among professional, amateur athletes and non- Karate-Kas.
Materials and methods: Two hundred and fifty-four athletes (95 professional Karate-Kas, and 159 amateur Karate-Kas) and 159 non-athletic healthy individuals participated in the current study. Following provision of informed consent, 2 mL of blood samples were taken. After DNA isolation, the genotyping frequencies of the IGF-I gene C/T polymorphism was assessed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. Statistical analyses carried out using SPSS software (version 20) and data with P<0.05 were considered to be significant.
Results: Frequency of T/T and C/T genotypes in comparison to C/C genotype was increased in professional Karate-Kas and amateur Karate-Kas versus to control volunteer (odd ratio > 1) however, was not significant. Odd ratios of T/T and T/C genotypes compared to C/C in professional group versus controls were 1.125 (95%CI: 0.556 - 2.275) and 1.034 (0.538 - 1.984), respectively. Also, odd ratio of T/T and T/C in amateur group versus controls were 1.002 (0.535 - 1.876) and 1.256 (0.715 - 2.205), respectively.
Conclusion: The IGF-I gene C/T polymorphism is not significantly associated with the physical performance´s levels of karate-kas athletes in Iranian population.

Abstract
Introduction: The purpose of the present study was to determine whether the novel marker, body adiposity index (BAI), is accurate to measure percentage of body fat (PBF).
Materials and methods: Seventy-eight males were undergone anthropometric examination. PBF was calculated by BAI and measured using InBody 3.0.
Results: Significant correlation was found between BAI and PBF (r = 0.751; P < 0.001).
Conclusion: PBF can be measured by BAI, which is calculating from hip circumference and height and we validated this novel index. Therefore, it can be widely used in the clinical settings.

Abstract
Introduction: Despite careful control of environmental factors, there is a wide variety of interpersonal muscle-induced muscle damage. Genetic changes can also be important in determining susceptibility to injury. Weightlifting is one of the most successful Iranian sports teams in Olympics; so, the aim of this study was the investigation of the relationship between ACE I/D gene polymorphism rs4646994 and incidence and severity of sport injuries in Iranian male elite weightlifters.
Materials and Methods: The study was cross-sectional research that conducted in 2022. The statistical population consisted of male elite weightlifters from Isfahan consisting of 31 athletes who all were investigated as sample. A questionnaire was used to collect the injuries data. Saliva samples were taken from all subjects and DNA was extracted and genotyped by using real-time polymerase chain reaction (real time-PCR). Chi-square and regression tests were used to analyze the data. Significance level was also considered at P < 0.05.
Results: There was a significant difference in the incidence of injuries in different genotypes. ID genotype (59.4%) had the highest incidence of injury in compare with DD (23.2%) and II (17.4%) genotypes (χ2 = 21.47, P = 0.001). Also, there was a significant difference in the severity of injuries in different genotypes (χ2 =15.59, P = 0.049); but there was no relationship between genotype and incidence and the severity of sports injuries in selected Iranian elite male weightlifters (P = 0.715).
Conclusion: The results showed differences in the incidence and severity of sport injuries in different genotypes, hence it would be important in the prediction injury risk in weightlifters.
