Abstract
We conducted a descriptive analysis of people with CF 40 years of age and older using CF Foundation Patient Registry data from 2022 to provide a current estimate of the population size and characteristics. We summarized demographic details including biological sex, race, ethnicity, insurance and employment status. Clinical data including body mass index, lung function, respiratory infections, hospitalization rates, prevalence of CF-related complications and CF therapy prescriptions were collated. A total of 5,243 individuals aged 40 years or older contributed data to the CFFPR: 2,687 (51 %) people aged 40-49 years; 1,410 (27 %) people aged 50-59 years; and 1,146 (22 %) people aged 60 years or older. The ≥60 year old group have unique characteristics compared to younger individuals, with later diagnosis of CF and greater proportion of females (58 %). These results highlight heterogeneity in the older CF adult population and the need to develop and individualize CF care practices.
