Heart failure occurs when the heart is unable to pump enough blood to the body's organs. Sodium intake has many side effects but is also necessary for health. Previous studies on sodium intake have shown inconsistent results, and to our knowledge, no studies have been conducted on this topic in Iran. Therefore, we decided to study the relationship between sodium intake and anthropometric indices in patients with acute heart failure in Tehran in 2021. The study was conducted on 114 patients with acute heart failure aged 16 to 80 admitted to Shahid Rajaei Hospital in Tehran. Demographic information and data related to sodium intake were collected using questionnaires, and anthropometric measurements were made using standard methods. More than half (54.4%) of the patients were men, and 45.6% were women, with an average age of 62. SPSS version 26 software was used for data analysis, and a P-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Spearman's correlation test measured the relationship between sodium intake and anthropometric indices. There were no statistically significant differences or correlations between sodium intake and anthropometric indices in patients with acute heart failure

Memory has an important role in human life, and any reduction causes many problems, and increasing it improves the quality of life. Research has shown that dietary intake is an important factor in brain function and development which might affect the level of memory. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between eating habits and memory status and anthropometric indices of local and non-local students of Islamic Azad University, Science and Research Branch of Tehran. In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 190 students, 97 boys and 93 girls (134 local and 56 non-local) 18 to 50 years old from the Science and Research Branch of Islamic Azad University were chosen randomly. The required data were collected by a general information questionnaire and memory was collected using Kim Karad Memory Questionnaire. Eating habits were also assessed using the IAUFHQ-82 questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS software. Based on the present study no significant relationship was found between eating habits and memory status and body mass index. Furthermore, no significant difference was observed between the eating habits of local and non-local students. Surprisingly no insignificant relationship was observed between eating habits and memory status and body mass index; hence, it is necessary to conduct further studies with large-scale sample size.
