Article Synopsis
- Obesity and chronic oedema/lymphoedema are related conditions, with this study exploring how increased weight affects chronic oedema in patients with leg swelling.
- The study surveyed 7,397 patients across 38 centers in nine countries, revealing that heavier patients experienced more severe stages of chronic oedema compared to those with normal weight.
- Ten independent factors were linked to increased weight, including diabetes and decreased mobility, suggesting that obesity worsens chronic oedema control and decreases overall quality of life.

A scoping review was undertaken using five databases. After duplicates and ineligible studies were excluded, 49 studies were included for a narrative review.
