This narrative review reports that lipedema onset is associated with periods of hormonal fluctuation (puberty, pregnancy, menopause) and describes estrogen-dependent mechanisms (increased aromatase CYP19A1, estrogen-induced ZNF423 hyperproliferation), alongside a proposed female-preferential autosomal dominant inheritance pattern.
