目标.不宁腿综合征是一种运动障碍，其特征是腿部的不愉快感觉，如烧灼感，刺痛感等。症状在晚上变得更糟，并通过移动四肢缓解。这种疾病的特发性形式与缺乏多巴胺有关，继发性形式与缺铁性贫血、妊娠和肾脏疾病有关。本研究的目的是调查缺铁性贫血的发病率在孕妇和非孕妇患有RLS。方法.该研究对231名18-50岁的孕妇进行了抽样调查。在妇产科门诊对孕妇进行了访谈。该研究还包括231名年龄相符的非妊娠女性的对照组。符合诊断该综合征的国际标准的妇女填写了社会人口调查问卷。结果在接受检查的妇女样本中，缺铁性贫血与RLS之间存在统计学显著相关性（p < 0.001）。研究还表明，RLS在贫血孕妇样本中比非贫血孕妇更常见（p = 0.008）。结论缺铁性贫血与RLS有关。有RLS的孕妇比没有RLS的孕妇更容易贫血。
Objectives. Restless Legs Syndrome is a movement disorder characterized by unpleasant sensations in the legs described as a burning, tingling, etc. Symptoms become worse in the evening and are relieved by moving the limbs. The idiopathic form of the disease is associated with a lack of dopamine, and the secondary form is associated with iron deficiency anemia, pregnancy, and kidney disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of iron deficiency anemia in pregnant women and non-pregnant women suffering from RLS. Methods. The study was conducted on a sample of 231 pregnant women aged 18-50. The pregnant women were interviewed at the outpatient clinic of the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics. This study also included a control group of 231 age-compatible non-pregnant women. Women who met the international criteria for diagnosing the syndrome filled in a sociodemographic questionnaire. Results. A statistically significant association between the existence of iron deficiency anemia and RLS in the sample of the examined women was proven (p < 0.001). It was also shown that RLS is more frequent in a sample of anemic pregnant women than non-anemic pregnant women (p = 0.008). Conclusion. Iron deficiency anemia is related with RLS. Pregnant women with RLS are more likely to be anemic than pregnant women without RLS.
