Abstract
Background: Today, the world is in dire need of spiritual health due to experiencing the most stressful period of times. Spiritual health in Islamic culture, has a special definition and special principles. One of the most important principles is the anthropological basis, which can be analyzed and interpreted in several ways. In this study, the basis of spiritual health with the approach of Islamic mysticism is discussed.
Methods: This article has been compiled by reviewing the Holy Quran and Islamic religious references.
Results: One of the analyzes in the context of spiritual health is religious-mystical anthropology, which pays attention to two areas: The first describes the human health and pathogenic forces that are activated against stimuli and events, and the second explains the source of positive human conditions and negative disorders when faced with problems and the coordinating base of human resources. This research deals with both areas, and a systematic explanation of both areas is done for the first time in this article in order to pave the way for researchers in this field. With regard to the first area, human's identity is his heart, which encompasses all aspects of his existence, perceptual, behavioral, and moral powers, and has two aspects, carnal and spiritual. As for the second area, beliefs and actions interact in four ways: the effect of beliefs on physical and external actions; The effect of heart and internal actions on physical actions, the effect of physical actions on mind actions and the effect of external and internal actions on beliefs. Of course, the method of this research is narrative-mystical.
Conclusion: Human can achieve spiritual health, after recognizing the carnal and spiritual aspects and the six layers of nature, soul, intellect, heart, soul, and powers of intellect and ignorance, to arrange the demands of each in the divine direction. Also, human corrects his beliefs and behaviors based on intellect and religion, and is able to adjust the way he deals with problems based on those beliefs and behaviors in order to ensure his spiritual health.

A purposive sampling method was used to select 17 young women who had experienced emotional eating and who a body mass index of 30 or higher. Diekelmann and colleagues’ method was used to analyze the data collected through semistructured, individual, and face-to-face interviews.
Results: In the analysis of the data, two themes have been identified both highlighting the role that cultural norms play in the development of emotional eating behavior. The first theme, "collective eating culture", had two sub-themes: "pleasant manifestation of the feeling of belonging and love" and "symbol of family cohesion". The second theme was titled "a legal and popular pastime", indicating that eating is considered a common entertainment for women in Iran that is undertaken frequently for the purpose of relieving negative emotions. Cultural norms associated with food consumption as a collective activity as well as eating as a legal and popular pastime have been found to be associated with feeling of belonging to family and to eliminate concerns relating to maintaining family cohesion.

Abstract
Background: The trend of previous studies in Iran indicates that in recent years, the focus on health behaviors and related factors has significantly increased. Among these factors, the key concept of cultural capital can be highlighted. The main objective of the present research is to estimate the effect size of the relationship between cultural capital and health behaviors among empirical studies conducted in Iran.
Methods: This study was conducted using a meta-analysis method. For this purpose, relevant keywords were searched in three databases: Irandoc, Magiran, and SID. To examine the assumption of publication bias, funnel plots and Begg and Mazumdar rank correlation tests were used.
Results: A search in the databases yielded 23 studies that met the inclusion criteria for the meta-analysis. The findings indicated that the combined effect size of cultural capital on health behaviors was 0.330, which is considered moderate according to Cohen's criteria. Additionally, based on moderator analysis, the quantitative variable of the year of publication and qualitative variables such as publication period, geographical location, statistical population, sampling method, gender, and age of respondents can be considered sources of heterogeneity in the research.
Conclusion: Based on the results of this meta-analysis, the variable of cultural capital can have a moderate impact on health behaviors. This impact is moderated by intervening variables, among the most important of which is the year of publication of the studies. This variable reflects the influence of changes in the social and cultural conditions of the studied community on the mentioned relationship.
