Several studies raised the effects of Ramadan fasting on healthy adults spirometric data, but none was performed in children. The aim of this study was to compare the spirometric data of a group of faster adolescents (n = 26) with an age-matched non-faster one (n = 10).
This comparative quasi-experimental study, including 36 healthy males aged 12 to 15 years, was conducted during the summer 2015 (Ramadan: June 18 to July 16). Three sessions (Before-Ramadan [Before-R], Mid-Ramadan [Mid-R], After-Ramadan [After-R]) were selected for spirometry measurements. Spirometry was performed around 5.5 to 3.5 h before sunset and the spirometric data were expressed as percentages of local spirometric norms.
The two groups of fasters and non-fasters had similar ages and weights (13.35 ± 0.79 vs 12.96 ± 0.45 years, 46.8 ± 9.2 vs 41.7 ± 12.6 kg, respectively). There was no effect of Ramadan fasting on forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV), FEV/FVC, peak expiratory flow, and maximal mid-expiratory flow. For example, during the Before-R, Mid-R, and After-R sessions, there was no significant difference between the fasters and non-fasters mean FVC (101 ± 11 vs 99 ± 14, 101 ± 12 vs 102 ± 14, 103 ± 11 vs 104 ± 13, respectively) or FEV (101 ± 13 vs 96 ± 16, 98 ± 11 vs 97 ± 16, 101 ± 10 vs 98 ± 16, respectively).
Ramadan fasting had no interaction effect with the spirometric data of Tunisian healthy male adolescents.
多项研究探讨了斋月禁食对健康成年人肺功能数据的影响，但尚无针对儿童的相关研究。本研究旨在比较一组斋月禁食青少年（n = 26）和年龄匹配的非禁食青少年（n = 10）的肺功能数据。
本比较性准实验研究纳入了36名年龄在12至15岁的健康男性，于2015年夏季（斋月：6月18日至7月16日）进行。选择三个阶段（斋月前[Before - R]、斋月中[Mid - R]、斋月后[After - R]）进行肺功能测量。肺功能检测在日落前约5.5至3.5小时进行，肺功能数据以当地肺功能标准的百分比表示。
禁食组和非禁食组两组青少年年龄和体重相似（分别为13.35 ± 0.79岁对12.96 ± 0.45岁，46.8 ± 9.2千克对41.7 ± 12.6千克）。斋月禁食对用力肺活量（FVC）、第1秒用力呼气容积（FEV）、FEV/FVC、呼气峰值流速和最大呼气中期流速均无影响。例如，在斋月前、斋月中、斋月后三个阶段，禁食组和非禁食组的平均FVC（分别为101 ± 11对99 ± 14、101 ± 12对102 ± 14、103 ± 11对104 ± 13）或FEV（分别为101 ± 13对96 ± 16、98 ± 11对97 ± 16、101 ± 10对98 ± 16）均无显著差异。
斋月禁食对突尼斯健康男性青少年的肺功能数据无交互作用。
