What is Known:
• Among children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis, those with history of meconium ileus in the neonatal period are at risk of having lower body mass index percentile and FEV
1
percent predicted.

What is New:
• Children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis and history of meconium ileus have decreased bone mineral density and fat mass compared to patients without such history.
• Lower lung function in children with MI coexists with suboptimal bone mineral density.
