This study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of restless legs syndrome (RLS) and its relationship with demographic factors and medical disorders on 980 postmenopausal women. Data was gathered using a demographic questionnaire and the International Restless Legs Syndrome Scale. The prevalence of RLS was 16.02% (157/980). Women with poor economic status were 3.37 and 2.33 times more likely to have RLS than women with a good economic situation and moderate economic status (CI:2.041-5.579, P ≤ 0.0001) and (CI: 1.540-3.551, P ≤ 0.0001) respectively. The risk of RLS was 64% greater in women who smoked than in non-smokers. Women with history of hypertension, diabetes and anemia were 2.82, 2.09 and 2.19 times, respectively, more likely to have RLS than those without (P < 0.001). Also women with higher body mass index were more likely to have RLS and women taking hormone replacement therapy were less likely to have RLS. The prevalence of RLS among postmenopausal Iranian women is quite high and there is a relationship between RLS and factors such as age at menopause, education level, a history of smoking, hypertension, anemia and diabetes.
本研究旨在评估980名绝经后女性中不安腿综合征（RLS）的患病率及其与人口统计学因素和医学疾病的关系。通过人口统计学调查问卷和国际不安腿综合征量表收集数据。RLS的患病率为16.02%（157/980）。经济状况较差的女性患RLS的可能性分别是经济状况良好和中等的女性的3.37倍和2.33倍（置信区间：2.041 - 5.579，P≤0.0001）和（置信区间：1.540 - 3.551，P≤0.0001）。吸烟女性患RLS的风险比不吸烟者高64%。有高血压、糖尿病和贫血病史的女性患RLS的可能性分别是无病史女性的2.82倍、2.09倍和2.19倍（P < 0.001）。此外，体重指数较高的女性更易患RLS，而接受激素替代疗法的女性患RLS的可能性较小。伊朗绝经后女性中RLS的患病率相当高，且RLS与绝经年龄、教育水平、吸烟史、高血压、贫血和糖尿病等因素之间存在关联。
