Abstract

Background Cystic fibrosis (CF) causes malabsorption of nutrients that exacerbate pulmonary problems. Nutritional interventions can improve pulmonary functions. We aimed to evaluate the effects of nutritional intervention in CF patients with malnutrition, and to determine if there is a correlation between nutritional status and pulmonary functions.
