Missed Periods During Fasting

As described in this thread: M.I.A or, Dude, Where's My Period?, missed periods can have for a variety of reasons... but taking a look at some accademic studies you're right that fasting affects things too.

Here are the results of one study where 20% of respondents had their periods affected during ramadan:
