Abstract excerpt
The aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine the prevalence and identify determinants of reduced bone mineral density (BMD) in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF). Adults (88) with CF (mean+/-SD age 29.9+/-7.7 yrs; forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) 58.2+/-21.5% of the predicted value) were studied. BMD at the lumbar spine (LS) and femoral neck (FN) and body composition were measured using...
