Terminated
Conditions
Cystic Fibrosis
Interventions
Other: Rehabilitation
Registration Number
NCT04527796
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Ghent
Brief Summary

The aim is to evaluate the impact of a 3-week lasting residential rehabilitation program for patients with cystic fibrosis on their nutritional status measured as BMI and body composition and pulmonary function.

Detailed Description

Cystic fibrosis Patients following a residential rehabilitation program consisting of dietary adaptation, physical therapy for airway drainage and supervised inhalation therapy and physical activity for at least 3 weeks are asked to participate. Weight, height, body composition and pulmonary function will be measured at start and end of the program. Dietary intake during the program is calculated based on a 2 day weighed intake diary and physical activity will be measured with the "SenseWear pro 3" armband.
