Demographic and metabolic risk factors for non-communicable diseases in Iran: insights from a prospective cohort study.
Article in Journal of diabetes and metabolic disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objectives: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have emerged as a leading global health concern, particularly in low- and middle-income countries This study aims to analyze the effect of demographic and metabolic risk factors, including body mass index (BMI), HbA1c, smoking, and high blood pressure, on the incidence and mortality of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), metabolic disorders, and cancers. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted using data from the Iran Cohort Study (ICS), which followed participants from the 2016 STEPs survey. The cohort included 24,818 individuals, with data collected over three years through structured interviews and healthcare records. Statistical analyses were performed to calculate incidence rates, death rates, and rate ratios (RR) for NCDs based on demographic and risk factors. Results: Males exhibited a higher incidence rate of CVDs (RR 1.22, 95% CI 1.05-1.44), while females showed a higher incidence of cancers (males: RR 0.61, 95% CI 0.41-0.89). Individuals with diabetes had a markedly increased incidence rate of CVDs (RR 4.92, 95% CI 3.88-6.24) and metabolic disorders (RR 28.59, 95% CI 13.52-60.43). Hypertension was associated with a heightened incidence rate across all investigated NCDs, while obesity significantly correlated with increased incidences of CVDs (RR 1.92, 95% CI 1.56-2.38) and cancers (RR 1.78, 95% CI 1.13-2.82). Notably, smoking was linked to increased mortality from CVDs (RR 1.63, 95% CI 1.23-2.17). Conclusion: Modifiable risk factors like smoking, high blood pressure, and high BMI, and non-modifiable risk factors like age and sex have significant effect on the burden of NCDs in Iran.
