                                According to a 2019 US CF Foundation report, 23.1% of adults with cystic fibrosis were overweight and 8.3% were obese, marking a significant increase since 1999. This trend completely shifts the traditional focus on preventing malnutrition, proving that people with **CF can be overweight** and require a new approach to nutrition.
