Abstract

In face‐to‐face interviews, we examined 157 consecutive individuals aged 55 years and older, selected from the general population in Singapore, and 1,000 consecutive individuals aged 21 years and older, from a primary healthcare center. Based on the IRLSSG criteria, the prevalence of restless leg syndrome (RLS) was 0.6% and 0.1%, respectively.
