Risk factors for probable REM sleep behavior disorder: A community-based study.

ABSTRACT:

To examine risk factors for REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) in a large-scale community-based study.

Methods

This community-based study included 12,784 Chinese adults (10,556 men and 2,228 women, aged 24 years or older) who were free of Parkinson disease and dementia in 2012.
