It sources articles, works in medical science, as well as work of the anthropologist Eliade Mircea. The scriptures mention those religious figures and their prolonged fasts. You can read about it yourself, and also read about hallucinations caused by prolonged sense deprivation and fasts. I have provided information. I am not writing a science article here, I'm only exploring.
I don't know about 'percentages'. ''Many'' might be an over-statement, but Christianity, Buddhism, Jainism all have these kind of traditions and people who did/do prolonged fasts, including prominent 'father' figures. I will look for different groups as well, these just stand out because they are bigger traditions.
I suggest you read into it if you have an interest. Do be courteous to engage in a discussion. If you do not have any interest than why are you even here?
