    Abstract Objectives: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and obesity are major pediatric public health problems. The present study aimed to examine the association between these two health parties in our pediatric populations.
    Materials & methods: This study is a single group retrospective cohort study about Body Mass Index (BMI) changes in 149 children and adolescents between 3-18 years old with a diagnosis of ADHD based on one child and adolescent psychiatrist interview according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 4th edition criteria (DSM-IV-TR). All participants were treated with methylphenidate. Besides, they were reassessed by the Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia-Present and Lifetime Persian version (K-SADS-PL-P). Furthermore, the height, weight, and BMI of participants were calculated. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, repeated measures, and Wilks' lambda analysis using IBM SPSS Statistics version 23.
    Results: The mean age of patients was 8.2±2.6 years, and 71.8% were boys. The obtained results showed that those treated with methylphenidate for more extended periods had higher BMI increases (p <0.001). The change in BMI was not related to the age at the start of treatment (p = 0.125), but this index was significantly different based on the years under treatment (p = 0.002). Moreover, changes in BMI were not significant based on gender (p = 0.850), the type of ADHD specifiers (p= 0.686), and concomitant drugs (p = 0.783).
    Conclusion: This study's findings suggest that long-term use of ADHD medications could raise the risk of obesity in children.

    Abstract Background: The risk of substance use is increasing among university students, especially medical students. This study aimed to investigate the frequency of smoking, alcohol consumption, and substance use and its relationship with general health indicators among the students of Guilan University of Medical Sciences (GUMS) in 2020. The differences in the frequency of substance use were also investigated from 2005.
    Methods: This was a cross-sectional analytical study conducted on 406 students of GUMS, Iran, in 2020. The data were collected through three online questionnaires including a demographic questionnaire, the Alcohol, Smoking, and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST), and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ). The data were entered into SPSS software version 22 and analyzed using Chi-square, Fisher's Exact tests, and logistic regression at a significance level of 0.05.
    Findings: In this study, 53.9% of the participants were female, 46.1% were male, and 54.4% of them experienced using substances in their lifetime. The highest prevalence of use was in consumers of tobacco (46.8%), alcoholic beverages (34.7%), and cannabinoid compounds (19%). Besides, 48.5% of the participants were suspected of having some degree of psychiatric disorders, among which depression (11.6%) and anxiety (8.4%) were the most common. Moreover, substance use during students' lifetime had a statistically significant association with anxiety, depression, and mental health.
    Conclusion: The results of this study showed the prevalence of smoking, alcohol consumption, and substance use among the students of GUMS is worrying. The relationship between consumption and consumer's health indicators highlights the necessity of intervention and purposeful planning by policymakers in this field.

    Abstract Objective: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a collection of chemical and clinical risk factors. Patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) might be at risk of MetS. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and clinical correlates of MetS in an Iranian clinical sample of patients with OCD.
    Methods: We included 107 patients with OCD in a cross-sectional study. Demographic and clinical characteristics including OC symptoms, duration of treatment, age of onset, medications history, and comorbidity with other psychiatric disorders were collected.
    Results: The prevalence of MetS was 39.2%. Abdominal obesity was the most frequent component of MetS (68.2%), followed by low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (50.5%). High serum triglycerides, high fasting serum glucose, high systolic blood pressure, and high diastolic blood pressure were observed in 47.7, 20.6, 18.7, and 9.3% of patients, respectively. Patients with MetS were older, married, had a low education level, had a high body mass index, and had no aggressive OC symptoms. MetS was not associated with psychiatric disorders comorbidities, age of onset, and duration of treatment.
    Conclusion: The results of this study were in line with the results of other studies that reported the poor health status of patients with OCD. A large number of patients are affected or are at risk of developing MetS. These patients need medical care along with the usual OCD treatments.

    Abstract Introduction/objectives: In addition to cognitive decline, one of the most important problems for caregivers of patients with Alzheimer's is neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS). This study aimed to evaluate the NPS in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and investigate its relationship with caregiver burden (CB).
    Methods: In a cross-sectional study of 85 patients with AD referred to Shafa Hospital in Rasht and their caregivers in 2020, information was collected using a demographic questionnaire, Neuropsychiatric Inventory Questionnaire (NPI-Q), and the Caregiver Burden Inventory (CBI). Data were analyzed by Spearman correlation,
    Results: The mean age of the patients and their caregivers were 74.95 ± 8.87 years and 43.98 ± 11.38 years, respectively. The mean total score of NPS in patients with AD was 44.25 (0-144) and the mean CB score was 36.27 (0-96), which was a moderate level. According to the results, 91% of patients had apathy, while happiness/euphoria was reported as the most uncommon symptom. In addition, there was a significant relationship between the score of NPS and CB (
    Conclusion: Neuropsychiatric symptoms, especially hallucination, aberrant motor behavior (AMB), delusion, and depression were associated with caregiver burden. Apathy was the most common symptom in patients with AD.
