Total energy consumption remained similar. Meal frequency decreased (3.2 &plusmn; 0.5 vs 2.1 &plusmn; 0.4 meals/day). Protein intake decreased 12% (P = 0.04) but fat intake increased 23% (P = 0.03). Body weight (103.9 &plusmn; 29.8 vs 102.1 &plusmn; 29.0 kg, P = 0.001) and waist circumference (123 &plusmn; 14 vs 119 &plusmn; 17 cm, P = 0.001) decreased. Forty percent of patients increased their physical activity due to increased praying hours. Fasting P-glucose (6.3 &plusmn; 1.7 vs 6.8 &plusmn; 2.0 mmol/L, P = 0.024) and B-HbA1c concentrations 6.3 &plusmn; 0.9 vs 6.5% &plusmn; 0.9%, P = 0.003) increased but P-insulin concentration, HOMA-IR index and lipid concentrations remained unchanged.Conclusion: The present study investigated the effect of Ramadan fasting on dietary intake, metabolic parameters and body composition showing that the energy consumption per day did not decrease, although the fat intake increased. However, the patients lost weight and reduced their waist circumference. Ramadan fasting has also elicited small but significant increases in Glucose and HbA1c after 4 weeks.Keywords: metabolic syndrome, Ramadan, fasting, body composition, type 2 diabetes, obesity, AjmanSadiya AAhmed SSiddieg HHBabas IJCarlsson MDove Medical PressarticleSpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol 2011, Iss default, Pp 409-416 (2011)
