Ramadan and the Iftar Meal: A Qualitative Exploration of Signs of Disordered Eating in Muslim Men and Women Living in the United Kingdom

This study highlights how the Iftar meal represents a challenging time for adults with low-self regulation of eating and for some is associated with signs of disordered eating. While findings cannot be generalized to the broader Muslim population due to the small sample size, this study suggests a need for further community research regarding the experiences of Muslims vulnerable to disordered eating behavior and how to support them during Ramadan.
