    Most high risk behavior form in adolescence. Unhealthy behavior such as unhealthy food habits, non physical activity, tobacco and alcohol consumption, and non safe sexual behavior establish in this critical period. Since the formation of the three domains of behavior can be influenced by behavioral, interpersonal, and environmental, exploring high-risk behaviors root among adolescents in socio -cultural infrastructure would be important. A qualitative content analysis has been used. Open semi structured Interviews were conducted until data saturation. These three categories have been emerged: parent communication, peer communication.

    Background
    cardio-metabolic diseases, including diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and coronary heart disease (CHD). Specially, greater physical activity is known to prevent and reduce the risk of many cardio-metabolic diseases. Walking is used under lifestyle conditions as a movement current pattern, especially in several social jobs. The aim of present study is to evaluate the relationship step per day with cardio-metabolic risk factors, and the effects of physical activity volume on this variables.
    Methods
    daily step volumes voluntarily were measured in the health postmenopausal women(n=40) by the electronic pedometer. Subjects (aged 55.9 ±4.6) divided by as active group(AG =20) and sedentary group(SG=20). Cardio-metabolic variables analyzed with the standards methods.
    Results
    Daily step averages in the AG(8022±2659 step/day) significantly was higher than SG (3450±913 step/day) (p<0.001).). There was a significant difference in body composition variables (BMI,%BF, WHR) among 2 groups and significant inverse correlations were found between activity and body composition variables in women(p<0.05). The significant inverse correlations was found between activity and HDL-C(r=0.34). the other correlations (LDL-C,TC, TG, HOMA-IR,Insulin, blood sugar) with steps per day were not significant(p>0.05).
    Conclusion
    In conclusion, in view of regular physical activity, increasing daily step volume may be associated with decrease risk factors for chronic disease (Increasing HDL-C) and obesity(BMI,%BF, WHR) for a 2 years period in the adult women. It seems that increasing steps per day (at least 8000 step/day) were not associated with changes in appetite hormones concentrations.

    Physical activity is known to influence and regulate leptin hormone secretion, which assists in the regulation of body weight and energy homeostasis. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of a single session of concurrent exercise on leptin levels and insulin resistance, until 24 h post-exercise. Ten male subjects (22.9±1.7 years) healthy volunteer performed a single session of concurrent aerobic and resistance exercise [Aerobic exercise: 60%-70% of their maximal oxygen up take for 20 min and resistance exercise: 2 sets of 10 repetitions at 70% of 1 repetition maximum]. Leptin, glucose, insulin and insulin resistance index were measured before and 24 h after exercise. Significant difference was observed between serum leptin levels (5.75±1.06 ng.ml-1 vs, 5.06±0.62), insulin resistance index (1.21±0.18, vs. 1.03±0.13) and insulin concentration (6.02±0.54 UΙμ.ml-1 vs, 5.30±0.44). However, serum glucose levels (4.52±0.27 mmol.l-1 vs., 4.37±0.36) remained unchanged before and 24 h post-exercise. Significant correlations was observed between insulin resistance index to insulin levels (r=0.97, P=0.000) and glucose (r=0.91, P=0.000) and also between serum leptin to insulin levels (r=0.73, P=0.02) and insulin resistance index (r=0.68, P=0.038) (P<0/05). Results of this study indicated that even a single session of concurrent aerobic and resistance exercise with significant change in leptin levels could have positive effects on insulin resistance index.

    Adding materials to reduce the microbial load and cover to deficit in milk is a health threat and has always provided consumer concern.112 raw cow milk samples were randomly collected from dairy industrial centers of Qazvin province during warm and cold seasons in 2012, physicochemical and added adulteration were investigated. Based on the results of chemical tests, the mean values of the lactose, density and solid non fat (SNF) milk samples examined in most cases in most cases was within the average range. However, the mean value amount of fat (2.48) and protein (2.32) samples was significantly lower than average range (P<0.05).The tests were carried out to determine the adulteration of milk samples indicate that the added water (16.07%), sodium hypochlorite (0.89%) and hydrogen peroxide (1.78%) were positive and In the other test results were negative. In this regard, the milk samples containing added water in the hot season were significantly higher than compared to cold season (P<0.05). Therefore, quality control of this product with high per capita consumption, which have a special place in the human diet, especially for children is necessary for physiochemical properties and added adulteration.
