Abstract
•Trends in increasing BMI across CF centers suggest significantly increasing proportions of overweight and obese status in recent years.•Between 2000 and 2019 there has been a relative decrease in underweight status by ∼40%, simultaneously with a > 300% increase in overweight status, and >400% increase in obesity.•Patient specific factors associated with higher prevalence of obesity included older age, having at least one allele with a class IV or V mutation, modulator access and pancreatic sufficiency.•The adverse sequelae of obesity should also be considered within this population in the future.
