The Effects of the Ramadan Month of Fasting on Disease Activity in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Öz:

Amaç: Bu çalışmada romatoid artrit (RA) hastalarında Ramazan ayında tutulan orucun hastalık aktivitesi üzerindeki muhtemel etkileri araştırıldı.Hastalar ve yöntemler: Ocak 2010 ve Aralık 2011 tarihleri arasında Ramazan ayından önce ve Ramazan ayından iki ay sonra takip muayenesi yapılan 71 hasta retrospektif olarak incelendi. Oruç tutan (n=39) ve tutmayan (n=32) kohortlar, Hastalık Aktivitesi Skoru 28 (DAS 28) kullanılarak ve hastaların Ramazan ayından önce ve Ramazan ayı süresince beslenme alışkanlıklarına göre karşılaştırıldı.Bulgular: Oruç tutan grupta Ramazan ayından önce ortalama DAS 28 skoru, sonrasına kıyasla daha yüksekti; ancak bu istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildi (p>0.05). Ramazan ayından sonra daha az sayıda hastada sabah katılığı ve halsizlik klinik semptomları görüldü; ancak bu da istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildi (p>0.05). Oruç tutan grupta sabah katılığı (p=0.001) ve fonksiyonel sınıfta (p=0.011) istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir azalma vardı. Bu grupta yüksek kalorili besinlerin alımı, istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildi (p=0.022).Sonuç: Oruç, RA hastalarında ortalama DAS 28 skorunu düşürür. Ayrıca, beslenme değişiklikleri, oruç tutan hastalarda RA hastalık aktivitesini anlamlı düzeyde etkilemez

Romatoid Artrit Hastalarında Ramazan Ayında Tutulan Orucun Hastalık Aktivitesi Üzerindeki Etkileri

Öz:

Objectives: This study aims to investigate possible effects of Ramadan month of fasting on disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Patients and methods: Between January 2010 and December 2011, 71 patients with RA who were scheduled for follow-up visit before Ramadan month and at two months after Ramadan month were retrospectively analyzed. The fasting cohort (n=39) and non-fasting cohort (n=32) were compared using the Disease Activity score 28 (DAS 28) and the patients' dietary habits both before and during Ramadan month. Results: In the fasting group, the mean DAS 28 score before Ramadan month was higher than for afterwards, however, this was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Clinical symptoms of morning stiffness and fatigue were found in fewer patients after Ramadan month, however, it was not statistically significant (p>0.05). There was a statistically significant reduction in morning stiffness (p=0.001) and functional class (p=0.011) after Ramadan in the fasting group. The intake of high-calorie foods was not statistically significant (p=0.022) in this group. Conclusion: Fasting lowers the mean DAS 28 in RA patients. Furthermore, dietary changes do not significantly affect RA disease activity in fasting patients
