摘要

评估海湾医科大学学生不安腿综合征的患病率和相关因素。经伦理委员会批准,我们在阿联酋阿治曼海湾医科大学(GMU)开展了一项横断面研究。研究人员向 624 名学生发放了一份自填问卷,以收集有关不安腿综合症(RLS)的信息,包括年龄、性别和相关因素等。我们发现,在这些学生(164 名男生和 452 名女生)中,有 6.2% 的人患有不安腿综合症。研究结果表明,不安腿综合征与镁缺乏、维生素 B12 缺乏、贫血和睡眠障碍等因素有关。在我们的研究中,我们没有发现年龄与不安腿综合征之间有明显的联系,因为我们的研究重点是 18 岁及以上的人群。总之,我们确定了与不安腿综合征有关的最常见因素,包括低镁、低维生素 B12、贫血和睡眠问题。这些研究结果突出表明,不安腿综合征是一种复杂的疾病,可能会影响到年轻的成年人,某些营养和生活方式因素在其发生中起着一定的作用。

Prevalence and Associated Factors of Restless Leg Syndrome
To assess the prevalence and factors associated with restless leg syndrome among the students at Gulf Medical University. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Gulf Medical University (GMU), Ajman, UAE, upon approval from the Ethics Committee. A self-administered questionnaire was given to gather information from 624 students about Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), covering things like age, gender, and factors associated with it. Among the students (164 boys and 452 girls), we found that 6.2% had restless leg syndrome. The results of the study showed a connection between restless leg syndrome and factors such as magnesium deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency, anemia, and sleep disturbance. We did not find a significant link between age and restless leg syndrome in our study, as we focused on people aged 18 and older. In conclusion, we identified the most common factors connected to restless leg syndrome, including low magnesium, low vitamin B12, anemia, and sleep problems. These findings highlight that restless leg syndrome is complex and can affect young adults, with certain nutritional and lifestyle factors playing a role in its occurrence.
