Eating disorders and disturbed body image have been reported in individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) and may contribute to poor weight gain, reduced lung function and increased mortality. CF individuals often look and feel different from their peers and bear the additional burden of body-altering side effects of treatment. As a result, the impact of disorders such as binge eating, anorexia nervosa, and bulimia nervosa may adversely affect the social, emotional, and physical development of those with CF.Multiple risk factors may contribute to the development of an eating disorder in CF. Growth failure is affected by the physical impairments of CF, including pancreatic insufficiency, high energy demands, respiratory infections, and delayed and stunted growth and puberty. Psychological factors, such as CF associated depression and anxiety, intense focus on BMI, lack of control in a chronic disease, and preoccupation with morbidity and mortality, likely further contribute. Exercise inefficiency, secondary to poor lung function, low BMI and pulmonary exacerbations, and the potential for medication manipulation are also additional risk factors.The intense scrutiny around BMI may lead to a poor relationship with food, including disordered eating habits, abnormal mealtime behaviors, and stressful caregiver-patient interactions regarding meals. This further contributes to a discrepancy between ideal CF nutritional standards and the reality of the challenges of appropriate daily energy intake for an individual with CF.It is imperative that CF providers are equipped to identify potential eating disorders and disturbed body image in their CF patients.
