The hormonal and metabolic changes caused by sleep disruption may increase the incidence of muscle\u2010related diseases like sarcopenia in older adults, which is defined by a progressive loss of muscle strength and mass. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between RLS and sarcopenia, which may affect each other through common pathophysiological pathways in older adults.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This was a cross\u2010sectional study including 109 patients with RLS and 220 without RLS who applied to the geriatric clinic. RLS was assessed using the Turkish version of the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group (IRLSSG). Sarcopenia was diagnosed according to the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People\u20102 criteria. All the demographics, comorbid conditions, medications and findings of comprehensive geriatric assessments were recorded. The association between RLS and sarcopenia was examined by logistic regression.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The mean age was 75\u2009\u00b1\u20097.4 and 73.8\u2009\u00b1\u20097\u2009years for the RLS and the control groups, respectively (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&gt;\u20090.05) and the ratio of females was higher in the RLS group (69.7% vs. 57.9%) (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.035).
