Factors influencing quality of life and disease severity in Hungarian children and young adults with cystic fibrosis.

Background: The aim of our study was to evaluate factors affecting cystic fibrosis (CF) patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and to assess the level of agreement on HRQol between children and their parents.

Methods: Fifty-nine patients (mean age: 14.03 ± 4.

[Quality of life in Hungarian patients with cystic fibrosis].

Introduction: Cystic fibrosis is a progressive multisystemic disease which affects the quality of life of patients.

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate quality of life in Hungarian patients with cystic fibrosis.

Methods: Validated Hungarian translation of The Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire - Revised was used to measure quality of life.

Bone mineral density and bone acquisition in children and young adults with cystic fibrosis: a follow-up study.

Objective: To investigate bone mineral density and bone homeostasis in cystic fibrosis (CF) and to assess changes in a 2-year period.

Methods: Thirty-eight patients with clinically stable CF (11 children, 16 adolescents, 11 young adults) were enrolled. No patient was treated with corticosteroids before or during the study.

Antioxidant status in patients with cystic fibrosis.

Background: The aim of the study was to assess the antioxidant status in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients compared to healthy controls. In order to determine the influence of nutrition on the level of the antioxidants, nutrient intake was also monitored in both groups at the time of the antioxidant assessment.

Subjects And Methods: The authors measured the serum malondialdehyde levels in children with CF, n = 21; 9 females and 12 males, mean age: 8.

[Body composition in overweight children, healthy children as well as children with mucoviscidosis, measured by multifrequency impedance].

The body composition of a total of 90 children (aged 5-18) were subjected to multifrequency impedance measurement with a Human IM Scan impedance analyser. We compared data of 30 overweight children (17 boys, 13 girls; mean age 11.47 yrs, range: 4-17 yrs), 30 children with cystic fibrosis (12 boys, 18 girls; mean age 12.
