Summary

Lipedema is a chronic condition causing painful fat buildup in the legs, mostly in women. This study is testing whether a Turkish translation of the Rapprich Lipedema Symptomatic Assessment Questionnaire is a reliable and valid tool for measuring symptom severity. Researchers will compare the questionnaire results with a standard quality-of-life survey and check for consistency over time. If successful, it could provide a standardized way for Turkish-speaking clinicians to assess and track lipedema symptoms.
