BACKGROUND
Lipoedema is an adipose tissue disorder that is still not fully understood. The primary purpose of this study is to explore the state of knowledge and understanding of lipoedema among Polish women. The secondary aim is to investigate the possible association between knowledge and factors such as BMI, self-reported symptoms, and age.
METHODS
One hundred seventy polish women took part in an online survey study that was posted to social media groups and forums in January 2022. The survey consisted of 12 questions and aimed at assessing the basic knowledge about lipoedema.
RESULTS
The least proportion of participants (4%) could correctly indicate the methods of lipoedema treatment. The accurate definition of lipoedema was indicated only by 7% of women, 12% identified characteristic features of lipoedema, and 37% correctly evaluated lipoedema curability. The greatest proportion of respondents knew the differences between obesity and lipoedema (50%).
CONCLUSIONS
Awareness of lipoedema among women is deficient. A significant proportion of the respondents report the occurrence of lipoedema symptoms. In order to improve the situation of lipoedema patients, it is crucial to increase the knowledge about this condition both among medical professionals and the general public.
背景
脂肪营养不良是一种脂肪组织疾病，目前仍未被完全了解。本研究的主要目的是探讨波兰女性对脂肪营养不良的认知和理解状况。次要目的是研究知识与 BMI、自我报告的症状和年龄等因素之间可能存在的关联。
方法
2022 年 1 月，170 名波兰女性参与了一项在线调查研究，该研究在社交媒体群组和论坛上发布。该调查由 12 个问题组成，旨在评估对脂肪营养不良的基本认识。
结果
只有 4%的参与者能正确指出脂肪营养不良的治疗方法。只有 7%的女性能正确定义脂肪营养不良，12%的女性能识别脂肪营养不良的特征，37%的女性能正确评估脂肪营养不良的可治愈性。大多数受访者（50%）知道肥胖和脂肪营养不良的区别。
结论
女性对脂肪营养不良的认识不足。相当一部分受访者报告出现了脂肪营养不良的症状。为了改善脂肪营养不良患者的状况，提高医疗专业人员和公众对这种疾病的认识至关重要。
