Clinical characteristics, comorbidities, and correlation with advanced lipedema stages: A retrospective study from a Swiss referral centre
Our study highlights frequent comorbidities in patients with lipedema, including chronic venous disease, obesity, and mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression. The distribution of comorbidities supports the need for tailored management. The correlation between disease stages, age, and BMI suggests potential progression, warranting confirmation through prospective studies.
