- The study aimed to estimate the prevalence of isolated rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) in Catania, Italy, due to limited previous research on the topic.
- A structured approach involved screening 1,524 individuals using a specific questionnaire, conducting phone interviews, and providing clinical examinations to confirm diagnoses.
- The findings showed a prevalence of 2.36% for probable RBD and 0.26% for definite RBD, indicating that isolated RBD is relatively uncommon in the general population, consistent with existing research.
