Benefiting from a national representative sample, the present study aimed to estimate the prevalence of overweight/obesity and the distribution of Body Mass Index (BMI) levels in the Iranian adult population, by sex, age, and geographical distribution. Methods This was a large-scale national cross-sectional study of Non-communicable Diseases risk factor surveillance in Iran. Through a systematic random sampling cluster, 31,050 Iranian adult participants aged 18 years and over were enrolled in the study. The main research tools were used to assess three different levels of data, namely (1) demographic, epidemiologic, and risk-related behavioral data, (2) physical measurements, and (3) lab measurements. Anthropometric measurements were taken using standard protocols and calibrated instruments. Results In 2016, the national prevalence rates of normal weight, obesity, and overweight/obesity among Iranian adults were, 36.7% (95% CI 36.1-37.3gain.

PwMS are usually assessed with the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), which includes a Romberg test for assessing balance. As the EDSS assessments are subjective to the examining neurologist, the postural stability of pwMS could be objectively quantified by implementing static posturography to detect balance problems and address preventive medical care. Methods In this cross-sectional study, we added static posturography to the neurological EDSS examination in pwMS and healthy subjects to determine how this technique could supply additional information during
