Cystic fibrosis (CF) can significantly impact a person's lifespan, primarily due to complications affecting the lungs and digestive system. Advances in medical treatments and therapies have improved the quality of life and life expectancy for individuals with CF, with many living into their 30s, 40s, or beyond. However, the severity of the disease varies widely among individuals, and factors such as treatment adherence and overall health can influence longevity. Regular medical care and lifestyle management are crucial in maximizing lifespan for those with CF.

Spina Bifida can affect the family, because the person that has it is most likely going to have a shorter life span. It also might affect them because they have to take care of the person, and watch them be disabled. Spina Bifida no longer is necessarily going to affect the lifespan. There are treatments for it now that can give the person a normal lifespan.
