- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Anthropometry is a branch of anatomy. One of the important parts of anthropometry is cephalometry, which is characterized by anatomical dimensions of the head area. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between brain volume, weight, and IQ in children.
Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was performed on 300 students. Conventional measuring instruments were used for anthropometric measurements. Body weight and skull dimensions were measured. Then, using the appropriate formulas, the volume and weight of the brain and the brain index were measured.
Results: The Pearson correlation coefficient confirmed a weak correlation between the amounts of IQ and anthropometric dimension in female samples. The mean head circumference of males was 2 cm above the mean head circumference of females. Compared to the central index and the dispersion, anthropometric dimensions were significant between boys and girls. According to the analysis of neural network, the anthropometric dimensions of head height, brain weight, head width, and brain index in boys and anthropometric dimensions around the head volume of head width and head height in girls were the most important in relation to IQ.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that there was a significant statistical difference between the central index and the distribution of anthropometric dimensions in boys and girls. Moreover, there was not a significant relationship between IQ and anthropometric dimensions of the body. In girls, there was a weak correlation between IQ and head width, head height, brain volume, and brain weight.- انتشار مقاله: 21-05-1398

- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: A significant proportion of Female Sex Workers (FSWs) as a vulnerable population begin selling
sex at an early age, which may lead the person to develop sexually-transmitted infections (STIs) and human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Thus, this study seeks to identify the factors which influence the age of first
sex for sale among the Iranian FSWs.
Methods: In 2010, 872 FSWs from 21 centers in 12 Iranian provinces were selected through multistage
sampling and were interviewed individually by a standard questionnaire. Survival analysis of interval
censored data was used to investigate factors which influence the age of first selling sex. The collected data
were analyzed using Weibull parametric model and the hazard ratio (HR) index was reported. The software
employed in this study was R version 3.4.2 and icenReg package was used.
Findings: The mean age of first selling sex was 24.94 ± 7.34 years. About 22% of the participants started to
sell sex before the age of 18. The risk of experiencing the first selling sex was 23% higher in those individuals
who had experienced alcohol consumption (HR = 1.23) and 51% higher in those who had drug injections
(HR = 1.51). Also, age, education, and marital status were significant variables.
Conclusion: In order to cope with the issue of first selling sex at an early age, the following strategies are
suggested: providing necessary trainings and building culture about the dangers of alcohol consumption and
drug injections, poverty reduction, facilitating education and marriage for young females, and combating sex
trafficking

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Due to the high level of sexual relationships, prostitute women are faced with many dangers, including acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), sexually transmitted infections (STIs), fertility problems, drug use, etc. In this regard, addict prostitute women are exposed to more risks because drug use is considered as an outstanding factor in those associated with transmission of AIDS and being in an insecure sexual relationship. The purpose of this study was to find out the variables influential on the level of drug use, before or during sexual relationship. Methods:In 2010, 625 prostitute women were selected by multistage sampling from 21 centers out of
12 provinces. Then, we used a standard questionnaire for gathering data by a face-to-face interview. The multilevel ordinal logistic regression in survey model was used to find out the relationship between variables and the level of drug use before or during sexual relationship. Findings: The number of monetary customers at the last working day [adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 1.87, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.50-2.32] and having sexual relationship during the past month with monetary customers (AOR: 4.77, 95% CI: 2.61-8.70) were significantly related to the level of drug use before or during sexual relationship in the past month. Conclusion: Since the level of drug use before or during sexual relationship was higher in women who had more daily sexual relationships, these women are exposed to the consequences of drug use; thus, identifying the status of this group of women is important to plan for future injuries.- انتشار مقاله: 22-02-1398
