Follow-up visits will take place every 6 months for 2 years. (M6, M12, M18 et M24). During each visit: a clinical examination, with anthropometric measurements, a 3-day dietary survey and a blood sample (10 ml), completion a multiple-choice of quality of life and physical activity evaluation. Paraclinical evaluation : echocardiography, lung function tests, screening for osteoporosis (M6 and M18).
