• Restless legs syndrome: diagnostic criteria, special considerations, and epidemiology. A report from the restless legs syndrome diagnosis and epidemiology workshop at the National Institutes of Health. (2003, background): “Some studies [3,20] have employed one or two question probes to ascertain symptoms of RLS.”
• Restless legs syndrome (2003, result): “Epidemiology studies have cited tobacco, caffeine, and alcohol use higher in RLS patients; clinically, some patients report a worsening of symptoms with these substances, but there is not adequate evidence from studies to support or refute these claims [ 26 ,27].”
• Impact, diagnosis and treatment of restless legs syndrome (RLS) in a primary care population: the REST (RLS epidemiology, symptoms, and treatment) primary care study. (2004, methodology): “[8] used a frequency criterion of at least five nights per month to define persons with symptoms of ‘restless legs’ in their study of the general population in Kentucky, USA.”
• Sex and the risk of restless legs syndrome in the general population. (2004, background): “Our results show that RLS causes considerable disease burden and has deleterious effects on quality of life.(13) Because RLS can be effectively treated,(9,35) a better education of the general medical community toward greater awareness of the syndrome is necessary.”
• Prevalence of restless legs syndrome and periodic limb movement disorder in the general population. (2002, methodology): “Our prevalence of RLS was lower than the finding of 10% prevalence reported by other community-based studies [3, 4 ].”
