Abstract
Vertigo and dizziness are very common symptoms in the general population. Statistical research has found that, for example, they have a prevalence ranging from 5% to 10%, according to age class; they are particularly common in the population over 40 years of age, and they are the primary reason for a medical visit in many patients over 65 years of age.
