Height and weight were measured using a calibrated stadiometer (Seca, Hamburg, Germany) and, consequently, BMI was estimated. Dietary intakes were assessed using a 3-day food diary. The subjects were asked to record their dietary intakes on 3 non-consecutive days (2 days and a weekend). Food diaries were completed based on the estimated values in household measurement and portion sizes. All reported portion sizes and amounts were converted to grams. Data on food intake were analyzed by Nutritionist-IV software (First Databank, Division, San Bruno, CA, USA) modified for Iranian foods. Blood pressure was measured with a sphygmomanometer twice 30 min apart in the seated position after 5 min of rest each time.
