INFO:

Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder characterized by an irresistible urge to move one's body to relieve uncomfortable sensations, often affecting the legs. There is growing evidence suggesting a potential link between RLS and dementia. Some studies have found that individuals with RLS have a higher risk of developing dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, compared to those without RLS. The exact mechanisms underlying this association are not fully understood, but it is hypothesized that chronic sleep disruption caused by RLS may contribute to cognitive decline and dementia. Additionally, shared neurobiological pathways and genetic factors could also play a role. However, more research is needed to confirm these findings and to better understand the relationship between RLS and dementia.
