Volume 29, Issue 4 (12-2022)
Abstract
Environmental and social determinants play a key role in health safety, and this factor is significantly highlighted in a pandemic situation. In this review study, determinants of health were examined from social and environmental approaches n the conditions of the COVID-19 epidemic. The study followed the methodology of a regular unsystematic narrative review search from the scientific database. In this study, it was found that the most important environmental and social factors affecting health in epidemic conditions included access to clean air, access to clean water, proper management of healthcare waste, income, and education levels. It was notable that air pollution led to an increase in deaths caused by COVID-19, while research on cigarette smoking showed a reverse association with mortality rate. Additionally, access to clean water and proper management of hospital and medical centers waste would reduce the risk of the presence of the coronavirus in water sources and living environments. Moreover, a high level of education and training was stated as an essential factor in reducing mortality. People with high education levels had more compliance with health training. Moreover, high-income levels in people led to more access to health services and the supply of health-related necessities during the epidemic, which reduced the rate of death to a high extent.

Volume 30, Issue 1 (6-2023)
Abstract
Since the gens change due to the environmental and individual factors, the role of these factors is now more important for the human health. In countries that the facilities such as clean air, healthy water and food, sport and recreational sites, social security and disease prevention programs readily available for all, the society is healthy and happy. Thus, the overall morbidities and mortalities have been declined. ‌But unfortunately, in some countries like Iran that has not paid attention to these factors, the overall morbidities and mortalities have been increased.

A reflection on the World Health Day 2025 “Healthy beginnings, hopeful future”: Practical implications for a healthy first 1000 Days: Letter to Editor
Nouzar Nakhaee,
Volume 31, Issue 0 (5-2024)
Abstract
This year’s World Health Day theme provides an opportunity to further highlight the critical importance of the first 1,000 days of life. The first 1,000 days of life, from pregnancy through a child's second birthday, is considered the first and most important university for every individual. During this period, pregnant mothers and infants require physical, nutritional, and emotional care. The seeds of many non-communicable diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, infertility, and autism, are sown during this critical time. Social problems, such as alcohol addiction, suicide, and divorce, are also not exempt from this rule. Various countries worldwide are actively raising public awareness about this golden and irreversible period. In Iran, the general public, healthcare providers, and policymakers must also recognize the importance and sensitivity of this vital period. Increased awareness can lead to improved preconception health care, prenatal care, and nurturing care during early childhood. By prioritizing these stages, we pave the way for a brighter future for the next generation.

Reza Tahergorabi, Elham Ansarifar, Mitra Moodi, Zoya Tahergorabi,
Volume 31, Issue 2 (8-2024)
Abstract
Deep fat frying is one of the oldest processes used to dry, cook, and formulate food products. The success of this process is due to its adaptability and flexibility in domestic and industrial scale. Fried foods are very popular owing to their good mouthfeel, high pleasantness, good taste, and texture. Foods absorb a significant amount of oil during frying, which increases the risk of such diseases as increased cholesterol levels, blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. The shift in consumer attitude and preference towards healthier options with lower fat content has markedly affected the fried food industry. Numerous attempts have been made globally to create low-fat products due to the excessive oil content in fried foods. There are novel methods to reduce the amount of oil in fried products. This review aimed to assess the effect of new technologies of blanching, microwave, and ultrasound on physicochemical properties, especially the reduction of oil absorption in fried products.

Abstract
Despite marked improvements in the health index in recent years, the right to health of millions of people is under increasing threat. The right to health is everyone's right to enjoy the highest attainable physical and mental health standards. It is closely linked to the realization of other human rights. The right to health encompasses access not only to health services but also to economic stability, quality education, employment, housing, suitable living facilities, and other aspects that contribute to health. To overcome these challenges, the theme of World Health Day 2024 has been selected as "My Health, My Right." This year's theme was selected to champion the right of everyone, everywhere, to have access to quality health services, education, and information, as well as healthy drinking water, clean air, good nutrition, quality housing, good working and environmental conditions.
