چکیده انگلیسی


• Determining the RLS prevalence in community dwelling elderly may contribute our elderly health care.
• Detecting the related factors of RLS may provide useful information to prevent and slow the progression of RLS.
• Additional information about the relationship between the RLS and sleep quality can be used in our clinical practice.

AimThe aim of this study is to determine the prevalence and related factors of restless leg syndrome (RLS) in the community-dwelling elderly living in Kayseri.MethodsThis is a cross-sectional population based study in 960 community-dwelling elderly living in an urban area. We sampled 1/100 of elderly people aged 60 years and older. The diagnosis of RLS was made according to the criteria of the International RLS Study Group. The demographic data were collected by face-to-face interviews. Additionally, the Mini-Mental State Examination, Geriatric Depression Scale and anthropometric measurements were used. Logistic regression analyses were performed to define risk factors for RLS.ResultsWe excluded elderly people with cognitive impairment (295). One hundred and five (15.8%) of the remaining 665 elderly subjects met the criteria to diagnose RLS. There was female predominance (3/1). Gender, length of education, employment status, smoking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, depressive mood, high body mass index, and high waist circumferences, sleep quality, sleep duration, and difficulty in falling asleep in the first 30 min were all detected as risk factors for RLS. However in logistic regression analysis, being a housewife, sleeping less than 6 h a day and having diabetes was found as significantly related risk factors for RLS.ConclusionThis is the first epidemiologic study of RLS conducted in the Turkish community-dwelling elderly in an urban area. RLS is a common but underestimated disease in the elderly. Although RLS is prevalent we found very few risk factors for RLS.
