Vascular Risk Factors, Cardiovascular Disease, and Restless Legs Syndrome in Men

Conclusions:
The restless legs syndrome prevalence among US male physicians is similar to that of men of the same age group in other western countries. A history of diabetes is the most consistent risk factor associated with restless legs syndrome. Prevalent stroke and myocardial infarction are related to restless legs syndrome prevalence.
