These study findings represent the first clinical in-field attempt at depicting, with the use of BIA parameters, changes in body composition related to chronic UVH. Since such alterations in metabolic parameters could be considered both the consequences and/or the cause of vestibular-related quality of life deficit, BIA parameters could be considered as cheap, easy to use, noninvasive assessments in case of chronic UVH.
