N2 - Psychosocial factors may play an important role in CF malnutrition. In our study, 67 CF patients (31 females, 36 males, aged 10 to 32 years) were evaluated by Ch-EAT questionnaire. Average Ch-EAT score in the series was 7.6; the average score in females was higher than the average score of males (9.5 and 5.9, respectively). In our series, 5 patients (3 females, 2 males) had a Ch-EAT score higher than 20, ranking in the anorexia nervosa range; another 8 patients (6 females, 2 males) had a Ch-EAT score between 15 and 20, definable as borderline. These 13 patients were evaluated by Anxiety Scale Questionnaire (ASQ) and a multifactorial test of self-esteem (in italian TMA). No correlation between ASQ and subtest VI (body area) of TMA was observed in males; the subtest VI score was always negative independently by ASQ score. In the 9 females, a high ASQ score (Sten >8) was observed in 7/7 (100%) patients with low self-esteem. A normal self-esteem (Sten ≤7) was associated with a positive score to subtest VI of TMA (sufficient self-esteem in body area) in the other 2 patients. Statistical analysis (Pearson's r-test) showed that the correlation was highly significant (p
