Lipedema, the Unknown Abstract. Lipoedema patients suffer from the widespread ignorance of their pathology. Considering its chronic, progressive and invalidating character, the early diagnosis of the disease must constitute the challenge of their caregivers in order to limit medical wanderings and the occurrence of complex clinical pictures. Treatments allow the reduction of lipedema and its long-term control. Management must be individualized according to the stage of the disease. The adherence of the patient, the supervision and the support of the practitioner are essential for obtaining the best results.

This study explored experienced weight stigma, internalised weight bias and depressive symptom severity in lipoedema, a chronic health condition that primarily affects women and involves painful and disproportionate adipose tissue. This study utilised an international cross-sectional online survey involving N = 1070 women over 18 years old (M = 48.9 years old) with self-reported diagnosed or suspected lipoedema.

Introduction: Lipedema is a common, yet underdiagnosed, subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) disorder. The main characteristics are SAT expansion in the lower extremities and arms, pain, and tenderness to palpation. It remains unknown if a low-carbohydrate diet (LCD) influences SAT in females with lipedema.

Lipedematous scalp (LS) and lipedematous alopecia (LA) are uncommon conditions with an unclear cause. Over the past century, about 115 cases have been documented in the literature. It is unknown if these disorders are indeed so uncommon or if cases that accept the illness as a structural alteration or are asymptomatic make the disease appear more uncommon than it is.

: Lipedema is a subcutaneous adipose tissue disorder characterized by increased pathological adipocytes mainly in the extremities. Vitamin D is stored in adipocytes, and serum levels inversely correlate with BMI. As adipocytes are removed during liposuction, lipedema patients might be prone to further substantial vitamin D loss while their levels are already decreased.
