| Abstract: | Background: Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is a neurological sensory-motor disorder. It is an underdiagnosed condition. Low iron levels and dopamine dysregulation are the factors that play a role in this condition. Working women have varying levels of stress and physical activity due to their numerous responsibilities and activities. Neurotransmitter activity is known to be influenced by physical activity. Aims and Objectives: This study aimed to find the prevalence of RLS and its association with stress and physical activity. Methods: 161 working women were included in this study based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group Criteria was used to screen the subjects for RLS. Possible associations between RLS and stress and Physical activity were also investigated. The Perceived Stress Scale and International Physical Activity Questionnaire were used to measure the stress and physical activity levels respectively. Results: The frequency of RLS was found to be 4% among working women. A positive relationship was found between RLS with stress. There was no significant association found between Physical activity and RLS. Conclusion: The present study concluded that there is a low prevalence of Restless Leg Syndrome in working women. It has an association with stress but doesn’t have an association with physical activity. |
