INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
4 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Restless legs syndrome increases the risk of anxiety disorders?

Unclear. Several sources report that anxiety is more common in people with restless legs syndrome, including a 2024 systematic review and meta-analysis and a 2005 National Sleep Foundation poll, but these describe association or comorbidity rather than establishing that RLS increases the risk of anxiety disorders.
