Abstract
:
In recent years an increasing number of women have been entering the labor force. The present study included 130 females aged ~ 35 years and working in three different professions (50 clerks, 40 doctors and 40 teachers).

They were submitted to special questionnaires included demographic information, past and present medical history, family history and dietary history.
