Background: (1) To compare nutrition and hydration status between a group of children/adolescents with cystic fibrosis (CFG; n = 46; median age, 8.5 years) and a control group without cystic fibrosis (CG). (2) To examine the association of nutrition and hydration status with lung function in the CFG. Material and Methods: A cross‐sectional study. Nutrition screening, anthropometric parameters, and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) were assessed. The z scores for body mass index for age, height for age, mid upper arm circumference, triceps and subscapular skinfold thickness, mid upper arm muscle area, resistance/height, and reactance/height were calculated. Bioelectrical impedance vector analysis was conducted. Forced expiratory volume in 1 second 〈 80% was considered lung function impairment. An adjusted logistic regression was applied ( P 〈 .05). Results: In the CFG, lung function impairment was observed in 51.1%. All anthropometric parameters were lower, and the mean z ‐resistance/height and z ‐reactance/height were higher in the CFG ( P 〈 .05) compared with the CG. In the CFG, 43% were severely/mildly dehydrated, while none were in the CG ( P = .007). In the CFG, there was an association between high nutrition risk—via nutrition screening (odds ratio [OR], 22.28; P 〈 .05), lower values of anthropometric parameters, higher z‐resistance/height (OR, 2.23; P 〈 .05) and z ‐reactance/height (OR, 1.81; P 〈 .05), and dehydration (OR, 4.94; P 〈 .05)—and lung function impairment. Conclusions: The CFG exhibited a compromised nutrition status assessed by anthropometric and BIA parameters. Nutrition screening, anthropometric and BIA parameters, and hydration status were associated with lung function.
