About half of the older adults experience dizziness, and this problem is associated with depression, fear of falling, history of falling, low physical activity, age, female gender, ear diseases, high blood pressure, and hypothyroidism. In addition, the use of medications such as anti- hypertensives, sedatives and cytotoxic drugs is related to dizziness. Families with elderly people, doctors and healthcare workers need to be educated and pay more attention to the above.
