Cross sectional data reporting the height, weight, and body
mass index of UK patients with cystic fibrosis are presented. During
the first decade of life height and weight in patients with cystic
fibrosis are maintained at about 0.5 SD below those of the general
population, which reflects an improvement over earlier published
observations. Postpubertal stature and weight maintenance in the cystic
fibrosis population still show substantial deficits which may be
related to treatment.
