This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The purpose of this research is to study the effects of vitamin D and calcium on bone mineral density or bone strength in children and young adults with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). People with CF can develop osteoporosis or thinning of the bones as they get older, which may put them at risk for fractures and/or bending of the spine. We are trying to understand if giving calcium and vitamin D can improve bone strength and prevent the development of osteoporosis.

该子项目是利用NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为中心，不一定是研究者所在机构。本研究的目的是研究维生素D和钙对囊性纤维化（CF）儿童和年轻成人骨密度或骨强度的影响。CF患者随着年龄的增长会出现骨质疏松症或骨骼变薄，这可能会使他们面临骨折和/或脊柱弯曲的风险。我们正试图了解是否给予钙和维生素D可以提高骨强度和预防骨质疏松症的发展。
