Previous systematic reviews have documented perinatal health effects of in utero Ramadan exposure on children. Our study aims to review possible long-term consequences. Methods: Following PRISMA guideline, we searched PubMed, PsycINFO, EconLit, Index Islamicus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, WHO Global Index Medicus, WHO Virtual Health Library and Google Scholar for original research articles analysing any long-term outcome of in utero Ramadan exposure, excluding maternal and perinatal outcomes. Results: Fourteen studies from 4874 non-duplicate search results were included. Most studies suggest negative consequences from in utero Ramadan exposure on health as well as on economic outcomes later in adulthood. Higher under-five mortality rate, higher mortality under three months and under one year, shorter stature, lower body mass index, increased incidence of vision, hearing and learning disabilities, lower math, writing and reading scores, as well as lower probability to own a home were associated with Ramadan exposure during conception or first trimester of pregnancy. Further, age and sex of the child seem to play a pivotal role on the association. Conclusions: Existing studies suggest that in utero Ramadan exposure may adversely impact long-term health and economic well-being. However, evidence is limited. Meanwhile, increasing awareness of the potential risks of Ramadan fasting during pregnancy should be raised among pregnant women and clinicians and other antenatal care workers should promote better maternal healthcare. Key messages: In utero Ramadan exposure may adversely impact longterm health and economic well-being. Some negative effects are observed particularly when Ramadan occurred during the first trimester of pregnancy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
