- - Malnutrition is a significant issue in cystic fibrosis (CF) that increases health problems, making proper nutritional management crucial for patients.
- - A study at the University Hospital of Bordeaux analyzed dietary intake from 130 CF patients aged 2-18 years, revealing that only 53% met total energy intake goals, and 28% met protein intake recommendations.
- - Despite normal vitamin and micronutrient levels in 80% of patients, vitamin K levels were low in 58%, highlighting the ongoing challenges in meeting nutritional targets for effective CF management.
