Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

With better medical care, patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), a life-threatening disease, are enjoying longer lives. As the CF life expectancy increases, conditions such as CF-related diabetes (CFRD) become more prevalent. Nutrition plays a major role in maintaining optimal health in cystic fibrosis (CF). This project is designed to investigate nutrition-related factors, such as diet and body composition, on outcomes in patients with CF. The data generated from this study will be used to inform future nutrition intervention studies in adults with CF and CFRD.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Research methods include blood draws for plasma markers of oxidative stress and metabolomics (the measurement of thousands of small chemicals in the blood), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI, to assess energy capacity and thigh fat), dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA, to assess total and regional body fat and muscle), and indirect calorimetry (to assess resting energy expenditure and whole body fat oxidation). Clinically-relevant data, such as lung function, CF genotype, and diabetes status will be obtained from the electronic medical record and the CF Registry.
