Cystic fibrosis study probes link between body fat, muscle, and lung health
NCT ID NCT04002882
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how the amount of muscle and fat in the body affects glucose tolerance and lung function in people aged 16-30 with cystic fibrosis. Researchers will use MRI scans and glucose tests to track changes over two years. The goal is to use this information to improve nutrition care for people with CF.

- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to direct health improvements, and results may not apply to all ages or severities of cystic fibrosis.
