“…Nearly all reported having good health during Ramadan, and a minority (2.7%) reported having a poorer health state during Ramadan. An interesting study by Nuryakin et al 81 examined the impact of fasting on students' learning outcomes in the Indonesian context in 2018 and 2019, and Ramadan coincided with the final exams at University. After controlling for semester-course-class fixed effects, student, class, and course characteristics, they found no evidence of Ramadan's negative effects on students' test scores.…”

Objectives The literature on health and disease during Ramadan fasting (RF) is widely spread in many journals making it not readily accessible to those interested in the subject. Here, we provide an overview of the research on the interplay of RF with various aspects of well-being published in 2022. Materials and Methods A narrative, nonsystematic review of the international literature from a single major medical online database, PubMed, in one calendar year (2022) was conducted. The search term “Ramadan fasting” was used to retrieve the appropriate records. The relevant literature with substantial data-based content was presented in a concise thematic account, excluding those concerned with diabetes. Results Themes that emerged from the review included the pathophysiology of metabolic changes during RF, nutritional aspects including body composition and energy metabolism, cardiovascular disease and risk factors, renal function and structure, endocrinology (mainly thyroid), neurological disorders, mental health, pregnancy and fetal life, and infections (including COVID). Some miscellaneous clinical themes were identified, such as patients' and professional perspectives. Conclusions In 2022, the medical interest in RF was again widely spread across specialties. Cardiovascular disease and risk factors attract the most interest in terms of original articles and professional guidelines. We hope with this review to present a concise summary of the scholarly work on the subject in this year.

“…After adjusting for semester-course-class fixed effects, student, class, and course variables, Nuryakin, Chaikal, et al [19] investigated the effect of fasting on students' learning outcomes in Indonesia and found no indication of Ramadan's detrimental impacts on students' test scores. The investigation consistently finds no proof of morning-afternoon differential effects.…”

The creation of successful interventions to enhance university students' eating habits may be aided by an understanding of the potential relationship between food consumption and academic accomplishment. This essay investigates how Ramadan affects Muslim university students' academic performance at NBU, Arar, Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional study was carried out by using an online administered questionnaire. The target sample was college students in Saudi Arabia. Utilizing the Social Sciences Statistical Package, data was gathered and examined (SPSS). The study included 445 participants, 78.9% of them were females and 21.1% were males. 98.9% of students fast during Ramadan. 87.4% go to university while fasting. 73% feel sleepy while fasting. 82.5% feel tired and exhausted while fasting. 73.7% feel a headache while fasting. 82.7% reported that fasting affects focus while studying (17.2% positively and 82.8% negatively). 72.6% reported that fasting affects their performance in tests (17.3% positively and 82.7% negatively). The result of tests performed while fasting was reported positive in 24.7% and negative in 44.7%. Fasting affects the academic performance of college students causing headaches, exhaustion, and disturbance of sleep schedule. However, most participants reported that fasting affects focus and performance on exams while studying (negatively more than positively).

“…On the other hand, Kökkizil (2022) finds that Ramadan makes the existing gender norms and stereotypes more salient: in the three months after the end of Ramadan, the academic performance of female Muslim students in STEM subjects significantly worsens compared to their male peers. Finally, Nuryakin et al (2022) use a difference in differences model to investigate the effect of Ramadan fasting on students' performances in the final exams at the University of Indonesia. They find that the overlap between Ramadan and the exam period has no effect on the students' test scores, but they cannot test for parallel trends in exam results between Muslim and non-Muslim students.…”
