Dizziness is a common problem that can affect a person at any age. One common, easily treatable cause of transient dizziness is called "benign paroxysmal positional vertigo," or BPPV. Dizziness can negatively affect one's quality of life and is associated with an increased risk of falls. This may be especially problematic for older people, who have a greater chance of falling and breaking bones. A study published in the May 2015 issue of JOSPT investigated whether BPPV is associated with an increased risk of falls that result in fractures.
头晕是一个常见问题，可在任何年龄影响一个人。短暂性头晕的一个常见且易于治疗的原因称为“良性阵发性位置性眩晕”，简称BPPV。头晕会对一个人的生活质量产生负面影响，并与跌倒风险增加相关。这对老年人来说可能尤其成问题，因为他们跌倒并骨折的几率更大。发表在《美国矫形与运动物理治疗杂志》2015年5月刊上的一项研究调查了BPPV是否与导致骨折的跌倒风险增加相关。
