No es lo mismo, pero es lo que se afirma. Véase:

INTRODUCTION: The semicircular lipoatrophy of the thighs is a disorder
whose incidence remained rare for years. Only recently, an "epidemic"
situation emerged, affecting hundreds of subjects who shared a status
of administrative employee.
OBSERVATION: The older etiopathogenic hypotheses give way to a newer
one implying the electromagnetic fields generated by computers and
their wirings. The resulting modifications in the intrinsic
bioelectrical properties of the skin could influence the biology of
macrophages exhibiting lipophagic activity in the hypodermis. The
electroactivation of these cells could lead to TNF-alpha release.
DISCUSSION: The semicircular lipoatrophy of the thighs is a problem
that may affect an employee out of two. Rather than hoping an
efficaceous drug therapy, prevention must be advocated by adapting the
work conditions related to the use of computerized devices.
