| Core Tip |
Ramadan fasting is a culturally significant, time-restricted dietary practice whose effects on hepatic steatosis and metabolic health are not well characterized in South Asian populations especially residing in United States. In this prospective observational study of 41 adults in San Antonio, metabolic profiles, body mass index, and liver parameters were measured before and after 30 days of fasting. Hepatic steatosis was quantified by controlled attenuation parameter and fibrosis by elastography. Fasting led to significant reductions in body weight and controlled attenuation parameter-measured steatosis, regardless of baseline body mass index, highlighting the potential radiologic and metabolic benefits of Ramadan fasting. |
