“…This could be due to the fact that males are more physically active than females. The results shows that Ramadan fasting is directly linked to both LBM and FM (Akın et al, 2019) . The construction of equations that convert the raw data into liters of body water or kilograms of fat-free mass (FFM) or fat mass is the result of the empiric nature of the relationship between resistance and reactance determined by BIA and body composition.…”

Analysis and assessments of body composition are very important for evaluating the efficacy of any dietary interventions and tracking changes related to health and illness. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of Ramadan fasting on body composition of the human body. Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis using bioimpedance analyzer device is used throughout this study for the analysis and assessments of body composition. The main objectives of this study to determine Body composition including BMI (Body Mass Index), FFM (Fat Free Mass), FM (Fat Mass) and TBW (Total Body Water), from the raw BIA measurements and to compare body composition values before and after undergoing Ramadan fasting. The study was conducted on total of thirty (15 men and 15 women) Healthy students from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia between the age of 18 and 27 undergoing Ramadan fasting for 30 days from April 12 until May 12, 2022 in Johor, Malaysia. Bioimpedance analysis was taken before and after the month of Ramadan. A statistical analysis of T-test for dependent samples was performed using Excel to compare body composition before and after fasting period. The results of Body mass index and weight lost during the fasting period were found to be significantly different. Between pre- and post-Ramadan, there was also a significant decrease in fat mass and a slight increase in lean body mass. Furthermore, the findings revealed that it had no adverse effects on total body water

“…Five original studies and two systematic reviews addressed various physiological and nutritional issues during Ramadan. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Zouhal et al [9] studied the effects of RF on gut hormones in thirty sedentary males randomly allocated to either an experimental or a control group. The experimental group completed their RF rituals.…”

“…The findings suggest that, in boys, RF does not impact the 6MW distance, heart rate, or oxygen saturation but has minimal impact on the blood pressure (BP). Akın et al [12] estimated the physiological effects of RF on muscle function and muscle mass in older people. A random sample was recruited from healthy older Muslim people aged 60 years and older who intended to fast for 30 days during Ramadan.…”

The medical literature on health aspects of Ramadan fasting (RF) is widely spread in many journals of varying access, making it less readily available to those interested in the subject. We performed a nonsystematic review of the international literature from a major online database (PubMed in 1 year [2020]). The search term “Ramadan fasting” was used, and relevant literature was narrated in a concise thematic account excluding diabetes. The publications spanned fundamental, clinical, ethical, professional, cultural, and advocacy facets. The publications predictably crossed the conventional disciplinary lines and geographical locations and appeared in journals with different access systems. The contents are presented under the emerged themes depending on the retrieved literature. This year, the basic coverage included changes in physiology, nutrition during Ramadan. However, the clinical issues included a more comprehensive range such as the impact of RF on the liver and gut, and endocrine conditions such as hypothyroidism and adrenal insufficiency. Coverage also included chronic kidney disease, maternal health and fetal well-being, cardiovascular medicine, nature and function of eyes, and neurological conditions, especially epilepsy. Sports medicine and athletes' well-being received somewhat prominent coverage. Other researchers focused on documenting patients' and health-care professionals' perceptions, attitudes, and practices during Ramadan. Health aspects of RF received a sustained academic interest with a broad spectrum in 2020. This narrative provides a scoping overview to help researchers and clinicians catch up quickly with state-of-the-art science today.

“…Akın et al evaluated the physiological effects of RF on muscle function and muscle mass in older people. [7] Measurements were obtained for walking speed, muscle strength, body composition, and detailed dietary diaries. The study found no significant changes in body weight, muscle function, or muscle mass before and after RF.…”

Introduction: Literature on the health aspects of Ramadan fasting (RF) is widespread in many journals, making it less readily available to those interested in the subject. Materials and Methods: This is a narrative, nonsystematic review of international literature from two major online databases (viz., Scopus and PubMed) in 1 year (2019). The search term “RF” was used, and relevant literature was narrated in a concise thematic account excluding diabetes. Results: The publications spanned the fundamental, clinical, ethical, professional, cultural, and advocacy facets of the subject. The publications crossed the conventional disciplinary lines and geographical locations and appeared in journals with different access systems. The content is presented under relevant themes depending on the available literature. Basic coverage included changes in physiology, nutrition, and metabolism during Ramadan. Clinical aspects such as the impact of RF on kidney function, pregnancy outcome, fetal life, structure and function of eyes, and athletes' well-being received comparatively prominent coverage by researchers in 2019. Gut, liver, skin, skeleton, and blood were also covered. Other workers focused on documenting the perception, attitudes, and practices of both patients and health-care professionals during Ramadan. Conclusions: The health aspects of RF received sustained academic interest with a wide spectrum in 2019. We provided a scoping overview to help researchers and clinicians catch up quickly with the state-of-the-art today.
