As people with cystic fibrosis live longer, fuller lives, we must adapt to the evolving challenges and opportunities that come with growing older with a chronic condition.
During plenary 2 of the 2025 North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference, Ahmet Uluer, DO, MPH, and Karen von Berg, PT, DPT, discuss longevity science as it applies to CF and describe holistic strategies for managing CF through the decades, moving beyond pulmonary considerations. The importance of establishing healthy habits is explored, including the role of exercise in promoting musculoskeletal health, preventing disease, and supporting long-term physical function throughout life.
The speakers advocate for proactive and personalized care strategies, integrating preventative care and regular screenings into treatment plans, and fostering an approach to health management that supports both physical and mental well-being as the CF community grows older.
