Dizziness or imbalance are common symptoms among individuals aged 45 to 70 years and are associated with older age, being female, and poorer general and mental health. Given that approximately half of those affected reported occasional effects on daily life, with a few reporting frequent or constant effects, the outcomes of the study could help to raise awareness among healthcare providers about the prevalence, symptoms, and associated conditions
