Increased life expectancy in patients with CF has brought about novel challenges in their care. Osteoporosis in CF is associated with significant morbidity and is an exclusion criterion for lung transplantation. Recent evidence suggests an association between dysglycaemia and low bone mineral density (BMD). We aimed to determine predictors of bone loss in a cohort of CF patients attending a tertiary referral centre and, in particular, if dysglycaemia is linked with low BMD.</p...
