Sex differences in dizziness diagnoses across acute and chronic neurological settings
Overall, PPPD is the most common cause of dizziness in males, and vascular vertigo was the most common cause of acute dizziness in males, regardless of age. The combination of age and sex may be helpful in constructing a priori diagnostic possibilities for Neurologists, Otorhinolaryngologists and other clinicians seeing dizzy patients.
