Review Article introduCtionRamadan fasting (RF) observed by adult Muslims entails abstinence from food, water, all oral substances, intravenous fluid therapy, and smoking between dawn and sunset during the 9 th month of the Muslims' lunar calendar. [1] Ramadan's impact on health and disease stems from the biological effects of prolonged fasting during the daytime and possible overfeeding at night and its various social changes. The last three decades witnessed a rising interest in the research on RF in health and disease. [2] Diabetes has been the most extensively studied single medical condition in connection with RF. [3] Despite the increase in volume of the literature, concern has been voiced regarding the quality of publications on the subject. [4,5] The literature on health aspects of Ramadan fasting (RF) is widely spread in many journals, making it not readily accessible to those interested in the subject. We therefore aimed to provide a thematic overview of the global research work conducted in the realm of RF during 2020 on the impact of RF in people with diabetes. We aimed to provide a concise bird's eye view of the literature published in a year and to identify the basis of evidence that may guide clinical practices for the years to come. matErials and mEthodsThis is a narrative, nonsystematic review of the literature retrieved from one online database over a full calendar year (2020). The PubMed search engine of the National Center for Biotechnology Information at the U.S. National Library of Medicine was used. The search term ("Ramadan Fasting" OR "Fast of Ramadan") AND diabetes, with time filters from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2020, was used to identify the relevant records. Retrieved articles were examined forThe literature on health aspects of Ramadan fasting (RF) is widely spread in many journals, making it not readily accessible to those interested in the subject. We aimed to provide a narrative overview of the global literature production in 1 year (2020) on diabetes and RF. This was a narrative, nonsystematic review of the international literature from a single major medical online database (i.e., PubMed) during the year 2020. The search term "Ramadan fasting AND Diabetes" was used, and the relevant literature was narrated in a concise thematic account. The publications spanned a vast array of topics related to RF, including assessments of safety and efficacy profiles of older and newer diabetes therapies, modes of insulin delivery, evaluating the role of utilizing advanced technology for the treatment, and monitoring of blood glucose during RF. Increased interest was evident in capturing patients' perspectives and healthcare professionals' perceptions, attitudes, and practices during Ramadan. Fasting by high-risk groups was studied. Not surprisingly, some reports covered COVID-19 and Ramadan and the role of telemedicine in ramadan. The current literature review presents this year's research data on the safety of fasting practices, care models, and patients' experiences and perspectives....

“…Although several evidence on eating habits during the month of Ramadan have been found 10,17–19 as per our knowledge, this was the first report on the consumption of fried food during Ramadan month on university students in Bangladesh context. The study revealed that most of the respondents knew the negative effects of taking fried food in this time.…”

Background There are several studies evaluating weight changes during the Christian and U.S. holiday season but data on the Muslim holiday season is limited. The purpose of this study was to assess the changes in body weight, body composition and blood pressure during Islamic holiday season among exercising and non-exercising participants. Methods The study was conducted with 63 eligible adults (30 men and 33 women; mean age 38.3 ± 13.9y, body mass index (BMI) of 24.4 ± 4.0 kg/m2). Participants who exercised for at least 150 min/week were included in the “exercisers” group (n = 30), while those performing <150 min/week were included in the “non-exercisers” group (n = 33). Subjects were evaluated before Ramadan and after Eid Al-Adha (total duration 18 weeks, early June-end of September, 2017). Data collected during each visit included height, weight, body composition, blood pressure, and physical activity level and food intake records. Results Non-exercisers gained 0.61 ± 0.20 kg weight (p = 0.005) while exercisers did not change weight (0.32 ± 0.31 kg, p = 0.336) over the holiday season. Similarly, non-exercisers had an increase in body fat % (0.90 ± 0.22%, p < 0.001) whereas exercisers showed a trend for fat loss (−0.55 ± 0.29%, p = 0.068). The changes between exerciser vs. non-exercisers was significantly different for body weight (p = 0.015), body fat percentage (p < 0.001), and systolic blood pressure (p = 0.03). Conclusions There was no change in weight, BMI or body fat % for exercisers during the Islamic holiday season. Meanwhile non-exercisers showed an increase in both body weight and body fat %, and that gain was different from exercisers. Our findings further validate that being physically active can prevent holiday season weight gain.
