Title
The anthropometric parameter waist-to-height ratio in lipo- hyperplasia dolorosa vulgo lipedema.
Abstract
Lipohyperplasia dolorosa (LiDo) - commonly referred to as lipedema - is a painful disproportionate but symmetrical fat distribution disorder of the extremities. An accompanying proportional symmetrical adipose tissue proliferation in the sense of coincident obesity can complicate the diagnosis and therapy of LiDo. Surprisingly, no valid anthropometric parameters are used to determine this obesity percentage. The often used parameter body mass index (BMI) lacks construct validity. An alternative is the waist-toheight ratio (WHtR).
