We used baseline data from the Mon-TimeLine study, a multidisciplinary, prospective, population-based cohort study. The total number of participants (n = 1572) ranged from 18 to 65 years of age. We found the prevalence of restless leg syndrome to be 6.6% (n = 103), among which 4.1% (n = 16) were males and 7.3% (n = 87) were females. The peak prevalence age for both genders was 45\u201355, and we found a positive correlation with body mass index (P &lt; 0.05). Most cases were mild (44.7%) or moderate (35.9%), but 18.4% and 1% of the cases were severe or very severe, respectively. The severe groups showed a positive association with chronic kidney disease, as well as with gastritis. In conclusion, the prevalence of restless leg syndrome in Mongolia approximates that in other countries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.31083\/j.jin2002041","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,5]],"date-time":"2021-07-05T05:04:01Z","timestamp":1625461441000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Prevalence of restless leg syndrome in Mongolian adults: Mon-TimeLine study"],"prefix":"10.31083","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Anujin","family":"Davaadorj","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, School of Medicine, Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences, 13270 Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Puntsagdulam","family":"Byambajav","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, School of Medicine, Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences, 13270 Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Munkh-Undral","family":"Munkhsukh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology, School of Medicine, Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences, 14210 Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maralgua","family":"Och","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Timeline Research Center, Ayud Tower, 14240 Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sevjid","family":"Zorigt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Brain Science Institute, Graduate Science, Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences, 14210 Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Damdindorj","family":"Boldbaatar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Brain Science Institute, Graduate Science, Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences, 14210 Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tsolmon","family":"Jadamba","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Timeline Research Center, Ayud Tower, 14240 Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia"},{"name":"Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences, 14210 Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Oyuntugs","family":"Byambasukh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology, School of Medicine, Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences, 14210 Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Byambasuren","family":"Dagvajantsan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, School of Medicine, Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences, 13270 Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia"},{"name":"Brain Science Institute, Graduate Science, Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences, 14210 Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"16242","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Abetz L, Allen R, Follet A, Washburn T, Early C, Kirsch J, et al.
