As a testimony to advances in patient care, more individuals with cystic fibrosis are surviving into their adult years than ever before. The clinical epidemiology of this complex multi-organ disease is evolving and has changed dramatically over the past two to three decades. This article discusses the emergence of chronic disease-related co-morbidities such as CF-related diabetes, chronic kidney disease, bone disease, arthropathy, and depression. It also provides an overview of the many challenges confronted by adult CF care providers. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
