Study Design: A cross-sectional study. Methods: This study examined male participants from the TCS. Blood samples were collected after a 12-hour fasting period. HTN and DM were defined based on blood pressure (BP) measurements, history of diagnosis, and use of antihypertensive or glucose-lowering medications. The obtained data were analyzed using chi-squared and independent t-tests. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to adjust for potential confounders. Results: The study examined 4,149 male participants, with a mean fasting blood sugar (FBS) of 110.34\u00b13 3.89 mg\/dL, systolic BP of 115.70\u00b113.60 mm Hg, and diastolic BP of 73.87\u00b17.77 mm Hg. No significant difference was found in the frequency of HTN and DM among participants who consumed opium compared to those who did not consume it (P=0.588 and P=0.705, respectively). However, FBS levels were significantly higher among opium users (110.77\u00b134.14 vs. 107.73\u00b121.19, P=0.048). Multivariable regression analysis revealed no significant change in the risk of developing HTN (odds ratio [OR]: 1.06, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.82, 1.35, P=0.667) and DM (OR: 1.22, 95% CI: 1.57, P=0.116) among opium users. Conclusion: The findings of this study demonstrate no significant difference in the likelihood of developing DM and HTN between opium users and non-users. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.34172\/jrhs.11343","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,19]],"date-time":"2025-10-19T11:15:47Z","timestamp":1760872547000},"page":"e00673","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.34172\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Association Between Opium Consumption, Diabetes, and Hypertension Among Male Participants in the Tabari Cohort Population: A Cross-sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.34172","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2843-7832","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Keyvan","family":"Heydari","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Student Research Committee, School of Medicine, Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, Sari, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4843-302X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Motahareh","family":"Kheradmand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Sciences Research Center, Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, Sari, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Somayyeh","family":"Ahmadnezhad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, Ramsar Campus, Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, Ramsar, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mahmood","family":"Moosazadeh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gastrointestinal Cancer Research Center, Non-communicable Diseases Institute, Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, Sari, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"20123","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,18]]},"container-title":["Journal of Research in Health Sciences"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/jrhs.umsha.ac.ir\/PDF\/jrhs-11343.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/jrhs.umsha.ac.ir\/PDF\/jrhs-11343.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,19]],"date-time":"2025-10-19T11:15:47Z","timestamp":1760872547000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/jrhs.umsha.ac.ir\/Article\/jrhs-11343"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,18]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,1]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.34172\/jrhs.11343","relation":{},"ISSN":["2228-7795","2228-7809"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2228-7795","type":"print"},{"value":"2228-7809","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,18]]},"assertion":[{"value":"Hamadan University of Medical Sciences","name":"journal_owner","label":"Journal Owner"},{"value":"Hamadan University of Medical Sciences","name":"journal_publisher","label":"Journal Publisher"},{"value":"2025-05-31","order":1,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2025-08-18","order":2,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2025-10-18","order":3,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
