- - The study examined restless legs syndrome (RLS) in pregnant women in Northern Italy, finding that 20.4% of 648 participants met the criteria for RLS, highlighting its significant prevalence in this population.
- - Women aged 35 and older had a 1.69 times higher risk of RLS, and factors like insufficient sleep (2.35 times higher risk) and difficulty starting sleep (1.73 times higher risk) were linked to increased RLS occurrences during pregnancy.
- - The findings suggest that screening for RLS in pregnant women could be beneficial for managing the condition, and further research is recommended to explore its effects on maternal and fetal health.
