- W2956426107 abstract "Purpose: Physiotherapists have an important role to play in the early detection and treatment of lymphedema, a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by excess interstitial protein-rich fluid, which is estimated to affect more than one million Canadians. Obesity has been identified both as an important cause of and as a risk factor for developing lymphedema of various aetiologies. Little is currently known about obesity in Canadians affected by lymphedema. The objective of this study was to report on the prevalence of overweight and obesity in a Canadian lymphedema clinic population and the relationships among BMI; demographic, medical, and lymphedema characteristics; and cellulitis history. Method: We conducted a retrospective electronic record review of the clinical data collected from new patients evaluated for suspected lymphedema at a specialized Canadian hospital-based clinic over a 2-year period. We used descriptive analyses to characterize the sample and one-way analysis of variance and χ 2 tests for comparative analyses. Results: Of the 178 patients whose records were reviewed, 36.5% were classified as overweight and 39.3% as obese. Patients with non-cancer diagnoses had a higher mean BMI than those with cancer-related diagnoses ( p < 0.001). A higher BMI was associated with a longer time since lymphedema onset ( p < 0.001), bilateral lymphedema ( p = 0.010), and history of cellulitis ( p < 0.001). Conclusions:Obesity is prevalent in the Canadian population with lymphedema and is associated with delayed referral and increased cellulitis rates. Early detection and tailored management strategies are needed to address obesity in patients with lymphedema and the complexities associated with these two related conditions." @default.
