Overview

Cross-sectional study found Ramadan fasting has no significant effect on cognitive function in physicians, indicating a need for further research.

Key Points

  • Ramadan fasting had no significant impact on cognitive function of physicians, regardless of age or specialty.
  • Female physicians performed better on the Trail making Test, while older age correlated with poorer results in cognitive metrics.
  • The study employed a cross-sectional design with tests including Trail making Test, Simple reaction time, and Stroop test.
  • These findings suggest that religious fasting during Ramadan does not impair cognitive capabilities, although individual factors vary.
