Metabolite patterns of B vitamin–dependent pathways associated with metabolic syndrome in older adults from the Bushehr elderly health study

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a major global health challenge associated with increased risks of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and mortality, particularly among older adults. B vitamins are essential cofactors in the homocysteine–methionine, folate, and tryptophan–kynurenine pathways, which regulate inflamm...

Analysis of MTHFR C677T polymorphism in elderly Iranian women from Bushehr

The MTHFR C677T polymorphism is relatively common among elderly women in southern Iran and the lower T allele frequency compared with global populations highlights potential regional genetic variation within the Iranian population.

The incidence and predictors of falling in older adults: the results of follow-up in Iranian multicenter osteoporosis study (IMOS).

Dietary mineral insufficiency and osteoporosis risk across skeletal sites in older Iranian adults: IMOS-2021.

It is suggested that dietary phosphorus may be independently associated with osteoporosis risk in this population; however, prospective studies incorporating objective dietary assessment, broader lifestyle factors, and fracture-related outcomes are needed to confirm causality and address residual confounding.
