Abstract
Introduction: Cardiovascular disease is the most important reason for mortality in many countries, and because of its increasing prevalence, it is vital to recognize the related risk factors. Hypertension is a major risk factor for CVD. Waist circumference (WC) cut point is a simple way to recognize hypertension. WC cut off points vary for different races, making it nessecary to determine WC cut off points in Iranians. This study was conducted to determine the waist circumference cut off in related to hypertension in Iran. Methods and Materials : We enrolled 83772 individuals, 41775 men and 41997 women, aged eighteen years and older from cities and villages throughout the country. The cut off point for waist circumference was determined and exams for blood glucose and COL, TG was done. Results: Cut off points for waist circumference were determined for hypertension using the ROC curve analysis, yielding 89 cm for men and 93 cm for women. Conclusion: These results showed that the cut off point for WC in Iran is higher than other Asians and is more similar to whites the present study shows that waist is ciruimference a strong determinant in relation to hypertension.

Abstract
Introduction: Fat infiltration into the muscles and the accumulation of intramuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) are associated with the development of insulin resistance, which tends to increase with aging and metabolic disorders. In contrast, exercise training may lead to a decrease in IMAT. Therefore, the present meta-analysis aims to investigate the effect of exercise training on IMAT in individuals with various health conditions and ages. Materials and Method: A comprehensive search was conducted in the Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed databases from their inception to October13 2023. The inclusion criteria for the meta-analysis included studies investigating the effect of exercise training with an intervention lasting more than two weeks, measuring IMAT values, involving human subjects of any gender, age, or health status. Standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to calculate the effect size using random-effect model. Results: Thirty-four interventions derived from a total of 24 studies comprising 1091 subjects were included in the present meta-analysis. The results showed that exercise significantly reduced IMAT tissue with a large effect size [(SMD= -0.67), CI= 0.42 to 0.93]. Additionally, body weight, body fat percentage, and blood glucose levels significantly decreased. Conclusion: These findings suggest that regardless of the type of exercise, health status, and age of subjects, exercise training is an effective intervention to reduce IMAT, which may play effective significant role in improving metabolic status.
