This study aimed to investigate the clinical association between idiopathic benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and reduction of bone mineral density (BMD).
BMD was measured in 78 native Chinese female de novo idiopathic BPPV patients and 126 healthy controls using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. We compared the mean T-scores and abnormal BMD prevalence between the two groups.
The mean T-scores were significantly lower in idiopathic BPPV patients than in healthy controls. The prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis were significantly higher in idiopathic BPPV patients than in healthy controls (65.4% vs 48.4%, p=0.013).
BMD reduction may be associated with idiopathic BPPV occurrence.
本研究旨在探讨特发性良性阵发性位置性眩晕(BPPV)与骨密度(BMD)降低之间的临床关联。
采用双能X线吸收法对78例初发特发性BPPV的中国本土女性患者和126例健康对照者进行骨密度测量。我们比较了两组的平均T值和骨密度异常患病率。
特发性BPPV患者的平均T值显著低于健康对照者。特发性BPPV患者的骨质减少和骨质疏松患病率显著高于健康对照者(65.4%对48.4%,p=0.013)。
骨密度降低可能与特发性BPPV的发生有关。
