RESUMO

El precepto islámico del Ramadán (R), impone a las personas que lo practican importantes modificaciones fisiológicas debido a las restricciones hídricas y dietéticas a lo largo del día y durante un mes, lo que tiene una especial repercusión física e intelectual de los musulmanes. El objetivo del presente estudio es describir los efectos del ayuno del Ramadán en la calidad de vida, así como, su repercusión en la Diabetes e Hipertensión. Participaron un total de 44 sujetos, 22 hombres y 22 mujeres. Con edades comprendidas entre los 14-80 años residentes en Tetuán y Ceuta. En un diseño de grupo único, creando subgrupos en función del sexo o patología. Las mediciones principales son las 8 escalas que miden los 36 items del cuestionario SF-36. Durante el R se evidencia en hombres y mujeres un mayor deterioro de la función física, siendo también significativa una disminución de la percepción de salud mental en el sexo masculino. En las personas diabéticas la percepción de disminución de la calidad de vida es mayor en relación a los parámetros físicos, así como en la salud mental y salud en general. Los sujetos hipertensos presentaron de forma significativa peores valores en los ítems de salud física y mental. El mes de R, en el conjunto de la población, provoca una menor percepción de la calidad de vida, más pronunciada en el caso de las mujeres. En concreto, los diabéticos y los hipertensos, estudiados, perciben una menor calidad de vida que en condiciones normales en cuanto a función física y rol físico se refiere(AU)

The Islamic precept of Ramadan (R) imposes on individuals who practice it important physiological modifications due to the hydric and dietetic restrictions along a whole month plus a day, all of which have a crucial repercussion over the physical and intellectual performance of Muslim. The objective of this study was todescribe the effects of fasting during R in quality of life and its relationship with pathologies such as diabetes and hypertension. It took part 44 individuals, 22 men and 22 women with an age among 14 and 80 year old, from Tetuan and Ceuta. A model in only one group, making sub-models according to sex and pathology. The main measuring are the eight scales that measure 36 items in the SF-36 survey. During R we can see worst results in both men and women in relation with physical function. We can also observe a decrease in the perception of mental health in male sex the perception is even higher in diabetic people in relation to physical parameters, as in mental health in general. Worst values show individuals suffering of hypertension in their perception of physical and mental health.This month of R in the population as a whole causes a less perception in quality of life which is even worst in the case of women. Being concrete, diabetic and hypertension people receive a less quality of life than in normal conditions talking about physical role and function(AU)

RESUMO

The Islamic precept of R implies important physiological modifications due to the hydric and dietetic restrictions along a whole month plus a day, all of which have a crucial repercussion over the physical and intellectual performance of Muslims, particularly in occidental societies, in which there is no hour readjustments for daily activities. Among the imposed modifications by Ramadan in daily habits, intermittent fasting along day and night causes adaptation mechanisms to optimize the energy consumption. The objective of this study was to analyze the metabolic-endocrine changes that happen during daily working hours, along the month of fasting in young subjects who have to continue their usual activities and sport training. Ten young muslim subjects, male, healthy, set to sport training, ages in between 18 and 25 who completed Ramadan. Plasma biochemical and hormonal parameters were analyzed in plasma, a week before Ramadan, in the first and fourth of the fasting month and a week after conclusion. During Ramadan, have been observed a drop of biochemical parameters along daytime, especially those related to glycemia, being these changes stronger in the first week. The concentration of cortisol found to be significantly high during the whole month as a consequence of adaptation to the change of circadian secretion rhythms. Ramadan obliges subject's organisms to readjust their endocrine and metabolic system in order to preserve the energetic efficiency during daytime. This auto control becomes more efficient as long as the month advances due to physiological adaptations.

RESUMO

El precepto islámico del Ramadán (R), implica importantes modificaciones fisiológicas debido a las restricciones hídricas y dietéticas a lo largo del día y durante un mes, lo que tiene una especial repercusión física e intelectual de los musulmanes, particularmente en sociedades occidentales, en las que no se producen reajustes horarios para las actividades cotidianas. Entre las modificaciones impuestas por el R, el ayuno intermitente día/noche, desencadena mecanismos de adaptación para rentabilizar el consumo energético. El objetivo del presente estudio ha sido valorar algunos cambios endocrinometabólicos que acontecen a lo largo de la jornada, durante el mes de ayuno, en jóvenes que tienen que continuar con su actividad y entrenamiento deportivo habitual. Diez jóvenes musulmanes, varones, sanos, sometidos a entrenamiento deportivo, con edades entre 18 y 25 años que realizaron el R. Se analizaron parámetros bioquímicos y hormonales en plasma, una semana previa al R, primera y cuarta del periodo de ayuno (mañana y tarde) y semana posterior. Durante el R, se observa un descenso de los parámetros bioquímicos a lo largo del día, especialmente de la glucemia, siendo estos cambios más evidentes en la primera semana. La concentración de cortisol se encuentran significativamente elevada durante todo el mes, como consecuencia del cambio de ritmo circadiano de secreción. El R obliga al organismo a un ajuste endocrino-metabólico con el fin de preservar la eficiencia energética durante la jornada. Este control se vuelve más eficaz conforme avanza el mes de ayuno y la consecuente adaptación fisiológica.
