Strength and Muscle Related Outcomes for Nutrition and Lung Function in CF (STRONG-CF)
Status: Recruiting
There are currently two main ways of measuring nutrition in the Cystic Fibrosis (CF) population: body mass index (BMI) and laboratory values. This study plans to look at more ways to measure nutrition, and body composition, like the percentages of fat, bone and muscle in your body. One of the ways we will measure these items is by using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan, which is a type of x-ray. This study hopes to provide researchers with more detailed information about nutrition and body composition in adults with CF.
