Detailed explanation-1: -Over time, cystic fibrosis can damage lung tissue so badly that it no longer works. Lung function usually worsens gradually, and it eventually can become life-threatening. Respiratory failure is the most common cause of death.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are close to 40, 000 children and adults living with cystic fibrosis in the United States (and an estimated 105, 000 people have been diagnosed with CF across 94 countries), and CF can affect people of every racial and ethnic group.
