Altered Body Composition in Dizziness and Vestibular Dysfunction: Insights From the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
Sarcopenia was found to be significantly associated with dizziness in the group with VD but not in those without it. While this study does not establish a causal relationship, maintaining muscle mass through proper diet and physical activity may be beneficial for individuals with VD. Such efforts could help manage overall health, potentially reducing risks associated with sarcopenia and improving balance. Further longitudinal studies are necessary to explore the potential causal pathways between VD and sarcopenia.
