About this study

Nutrition and body composition, the amount of muscle and fat in the body, has a role in overall health. This study wants to learn more about how nutrition and body composition affects health outcomes like glucose tolerance and lung function in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) who are ages 16-30 years old. 60 adolescents and young adults with CF will be recruited, and 30 volunteers without cystic fibrosis. A total of 40 of these study participants with CF will be asked to return for annual study visits for 2 years after the first visit. The long-term goal of this study is to use the information collected to make decisions about future nutrition monitoring and interventions which help maintain optimal health for individuals with CF.
