This systematic review of molecular and cellular lipedema research interprets lymphedema co-occurring in advanced stages as a consequence of associated obesity rather than a primary feature of lipedema, and proposes adding comorbidities like obesity and lymphedema to revised staging; it does not establish that lipedema itself progresses to lymphedema or quantify functional disability.

  The article addresses the lipedema-lymphedema relationship but explicitly frames lymphedema as a secondary co-occurrence linked to obesity rather than direct progression of lipedema, and focuses on molecular/cellular mechanisms without meas
