In conclusion, the present study shows for the first
time that, although Ramadan intermittent fasting leads to
body weight loss, only young subjects and males lost
body fat, whereas all subjects experienced a significant
reduction in fat-free mass. Further research is required to
determine whether these changes are long-lasting and
additive, thus contributing over the long term to significant
body composition changes, which in turn may have
implications on the basal energy requirements,
particularly of women aged >36 years. Because these
changes could not be attributed to dietary intake, further
research is required to determine the possible mechanisms
that are responsible, such as differences in macronutrient
oxidation.
