Abstract

  Abdominal obesity is more dangerous than fat accumulation elsewhere in the body and can cause early death by increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, fatty liver and respiratory diseases . Prevalence of abdominal obesity is high among Iranian men and women. On the other hand , studies have shown that diet modification is needed for most Iranians . According to recent evidence, abdominal obesity may change in response to certain food items therefore the diet s can be offered to prevent and control abdominal obesity and its consequences. These diets may not be equally effective due to individual biological variations in people . With regards to the threatening outcome of abdominal obesity, identifying these food items is essential to modify dietary plans.
