Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
In community-based epidemiological surveys, RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome) has been studied as:[1]
- A symptom only
- In this kind of symptoms ,prevalence estimates in the general adult population ranged from 9400 to 1500 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
- A set of symptoms meeting minimal diagnostic criteria of the IRLSSG
- In this kind of symptoms ,prevalence estimates in the general adult population ranged from 3900 to 1400 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
- When frequency/severity is added, prevalence ranged from 2.2% to 7.9% and when differential diagnosis is applied prevalence estimates are between 1.9% and 4.6%. In all instances, RLS prevalence is higher in women than in men.
Age
- The incidence of RLS increases with age.[2]
Race
- RLS usually affects individuals of the non-African American race. African American race individuals are less likely to develop RLS.[3]
Gender
- Women are more commonly affected by RLS than men.[1] The women to men ratio is approximately 2 to 1.[2]
Region
- The worldwide prevalence of RLS is not clear, however, it appears that Asian countries have a lower prevalence of RLS than European and North American countries.[1]
