Cross-sectional study finds high lipedema screening risk in adult women, highlighting the need for targeted clinical evaluation.
This cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted with 395 women to assess lipedema awareness, lipedema symptom levels, and the screening probability of lipedema. Data were collected using an Introduction Form, and the Questionnaire and Screening Model for Lipedema. The mean score on the lipedema screening questionnaire was 6.05 ± 4.58. It was determined that 15.4% of women had a high probability of developing lipedema. We found that participants demonstrated awareness regarding lipedema and that sociodemographic characteristics were associated with lipedema risk.
