While the prevalence and clinical characteristics of restless legs syndrome (RLS) are known to vary according to ethnicity, a detailed evaluation of this condition among patients with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) has not yet been reported in an Asian population. We investigated the prevalence and clinical characteristics of RLS in patients with IDA in Korea compared with age- and sex-matched patients diagnosed with idiopathic RLS.
