In a cross-sectional survey of women with lipedema (n=112), WHOQOL-BREF averaged 3.12 (1-5 scale) and life satisfaction (SWLS) averaged 3.63 (below midpoint), with symptom severity explaining 13.9% of QoL variance; psychological flexibility (AAQ-II β=0.26) and social connectedness (SCS-R β=0.37) independently predicted QoL after controlling for symptom severity, raising explained variance to 44.4%.
