The Challenges of Aging for People with CF - Richard Simon, MD (Audio)

Dr. Richard Simon, Professor Emeritus at the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at the University of Michigan, gives a comprehensive overview of the health challenges faced by an aging CF population. In addition to general aging symptoms such as decreasing mobility, reduced strength, and memory loss, there are CF-specific issues such as CF-related diabetes, CF-related bone disease, and gastrointestinal cancers. This presentation was part of CFRI's Virtual 35th National CF Education Conference on July 30, 2022.
