302 Comparison of Nutritional Status and Lung Function in Children with Cystic Fibrosis and Healthy Controls

Aims: To investigate the energy and macronutrient intake data from the Scandinavian CF nutritional multicentre study.Methods: Data was analysed from the 328 Norwegian and Swedish CF patients (169 F) who completed the 7-day precoded dietary food record, calculated in the national food databases.Mean age was 20.9, median 16.4 range 4 66y.85% were pancreatic insufficient.Results: There were no significant differences in energy intake between the Norwegian and Swedish patients, except for girls 6 9 y having a higher energy intake in Sweden (p 0.002).Mean energy intake expressed as percent of estimated average requirement (EAR) was in accordance with guidelines for CF (120 150% of EAR) in the lower age groups (4 5, 6 9, 10 13y).Children 14 17y and adults 18 66y did not achieve the guidelines.In these age groups only 11% (F 14 17y), 19% (M 14 17y),45% (F 18 30y),41% (M 18 30y), 17% (F 31+y), 23% (M 3 l+y) had an intake ~>120% of EAR.Mean energy% (E%) from fat was ~<40 in all age groups and both sexes.It was ~<34 E% in children 14 17y and in adults 18 30 y (both sexes).Norwegian women and men (~>18y) had a higher E% from polyunsaturated fatty acids (p 0.002, p < 0.001) than Swedes.Norwegian girls and boys had a higher E% from sucrose (p < 0.001, p 0.001) than Swedish ones.Conclusions: These preliminary data did not show any big differences between Norway and Sweden.Energy intake decreased considerably in the teens and remained at a low level in adulthood.Teenagers and adults need special attention from the CF team to achieve an energy intake high enough.Final data including the Danish cohort of CF patients, with extensive subgroup analyses, will be presented.
