title: Nutritional aspects in cystic fibrosis.
abstract: The achievement and maintenance of energy balance in cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the central aims of management. Growth retardation in affected children and wasting in CF adults remain major clinical problems. We consider the basis for the energy deficit, examine the spectrum of nutrient imbalance and review the current guidelines for dietary management.
