Serum Magnesium Levels in Patients Diagnosed With Lipedema

Female patients diagnosed with lipedema will be divided into two groups based on their Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scores: PSQI ≤ 5 and PSQI \> 5. Age, body mass index (BMI), education level, menopausal status (reproductive period, perimenopausal period, postmenopausal period), number of births, duration of illness, occupation, marital status, disease stage, lipedema type, lower extremity functional scale, and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale - Short Form (Physical Health, Psychological Health, Social Relationships...)

Inclusion Criteria: * Serum magnesium levels must have been measured within the past 6 month * Be at least 18 years of age * Have a diagnosis of lipedema based on the Wold criteria * Have no cognitive or mental health issues * Agree to participate in the study Exclusion Criteria: * No serum magnesium level measured within the past 6 months * Use of magnesium supplements for lipedema within the past 6 months, or the presence of any condition known to affect magnesium absorption or serum magnesium levels (e.g., use of a proton pump inhibitor \[PPI\] or diuretic) * The presence of other types of edema in which a component other than lipedema is predominant (e.g., lymphedema, venous edema, edema associated with heart or kidney failure, etc.) * A body mass index (BMI) of over 50.0 (this condition reflects severe obesity, which has a significant impact on health beyond lipedema alone) * Presence of a rheumatological disease, history of cancer, chronic liver disease, or endocrine disorder * Having been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder, or use of psychiatric medications that may affect sleep * Being under 18 years of age
