A one hypothesis to explain some vestibular peripheral disorders is their association with life style. Thus, studies with young adults are relevant.
to analyze the prevalence of dynamic balance alterations in young adults and their possible association with life style variables, health and negative emotional states (since they can impact the outcome).
we carried out a non-probabilistic cross-sectional, clinical-retrospective study with young adults (18-32 years of age) from a university with 751 individuals, with a mean age of 22.45+/- 3.32 years. Life style, health and negative emotional states (NES) variables - depression, stress and anxiety, were collected by means of an interview. The Unterberger test was used in order to check for indications of dynamic balance alterations. Individuals with altered dynamic balance (ADB) were compared to those without these alterations (controls).
From our sample, 642 (83.6%) had less than 45 masculine of deviation, while 109 (14.2%) had greater than 45 masculine deviation and were the considered with ADB. The ADB group had a greater prevalence of smoking, alcohol abuse/dependence, high blood pressure and NES.
the study highlights the occurrence of ADB which needs to be corroborated in future studies.
分析年轻人动态平衡改变的发生率及其与生活方式变量、健康和负性情绪状态（因为它们可能影响结果）的可能关联。
我们进行了一项非概率性的横断性、临床回顾性研究，对象是来自一所大学的年轻人（18-32 岁），共有 751 人，平均年龄为 22.45±3.32 岁。通过访谈收集了生活方式、健康和负性情绪状态（抑郁、压力和焦虑）变量。使用 Unterberger 测试来检查是否存在动态平衡改变的迹象。将有动态平衡改变（ADB）的个体与无这些改变的个体（对照组）进行比较。
在我们的样本中，642 人（83.6%）的偏差小于 45 马氏单位，而 109 人（14.2%）的偏差大于 45 马氏单位，被认为存在 ADB。ADB 组的吸烟、酒精滥用/依赖、高血压和负性情绪状态的患病率更高。
该研究强调了 ADB 的发生，需要在未来的研究中加以证实。
