This study aimed to evaluate the association between serum vitamin D levels and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).
This prospective study consisted of 137 participants. There were 69 participants in the BPPV group compared with 68 healthy participants. Blood samples from both groups were collected from all participants to assess serum vitamin D levels.
No significant difference in demographic data between BPPV and control groups. The results showed that the mean serum vitamin D levels in the BPPV group was lower than that of the control group ( value = .001). Among BPPV participants, there was no statistically significant difference between mean serum vitamin D levels of participants with recurrent BPPV, and that of newly diagnosed BPPV participants ( value = .313).
A statistically significant association between lower mean serum vitamin D levels in the BPPV group compared with that of the control group. Therefore, low serum vitamin D levels may be one of the risk factors for BPPV.
本研究旨在评估血清维生素 D 水平与良性阵发性位置性眩晕（BPPV）之间的关联。
这是一项前瞻性研究，共纳入 137 名参与者。BPPV 组 69 例，对照组 68 例。所有参与者均采集血样以评估血清维生素 D 水平。
BPPV 组和对照组的人口统计学数据无显著差异。结果显示，BPPV 组的平均血清维生素 D 水平低于对照组（ 值=.001）。在 BPPV 患者中，复发性 BPPV 患者与新诊断 BPPV 患者的平均血清维生素 D 水平之间无统计学差异（ 值=.313）。
与对照组相比，BPPV 组的平均血清维生素 D 水平较低，两者之间存在统计学显著关联。因此，低血清维生素 D 水平可能是 BPPV 的一个危险因素。
