Özet
Beş ayrı il merkezinden rastgele seçilen, Ramazan ayında oruç tutan toplam 750 (320 erkek, 430 kadın) yetişkin bireyin genel özellikleri, birbirini izleyen üç gün süresince besin tüketim durumu, fiziksel aktivite türü ve süresi soruşturma yöntemi ile anket formuna kaydedilmiştir. Sağlık sorunu olan toplam 187 bireyin %60.4'ünün ilaç kullandığı, %31.6'sının diyet uyguladığı, ancak Ramazan süresince bu bireylerin %9.7'sinin ilaç almayı, %18.8'inin ise diyet uygulamayı aksattığı öğrenilmiştir. Uzun süre açlık nedeniyle bireylerin %34.3'ünde yorgunluk, çalışmama isteği vb bazı davranış değişikliklerinin olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sahurdaki yemek örüntüsünün daha çok kahvaltılık besinlerden oluştuğu, iftardaki besinlerin ise çeşitlilik gösterdiği bulunmuştur. En yetersiz alınan besin öğesi kalsiyumdur. Günlük alınan ortalama enerjinin, hem kadınlarda hem de erkeklerde harcanandan az olduğu bulunmuştur.
