Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze risk factors of residual dizziness (RD) after successful treatment for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) in middle-aged and older adults.
Methods: 181 patients with BPPV, after successful canalith repositioning maneuver (CRM) treatment, were recruited. All patients were divided into the middle-aged group (aged 45-59 years, = 101) and the older group (over 60 years, = 80). The clinical characteristics were recorded, including age, gender, numbers of maneuvers, involved canal, affected side, RD, comorbidities, dizziness handicap inventory score, and generalized anxiety disorder's 7-item scale score.
Results: The incidence of RD in the older group was significantly higher than that of the middle-aged group ( = 0.033). Multivariate logistic regression analysis shows that age (odds ratio = 1.042, = 0.006), moderate to severe dizziness (odds ratio = 2.017, = 0.034), and moderate to severe anxiety (odds ratio = 2.228, = 0.017) were independently associated with RD in middle-aged and older adults.
Conclusion: Older adults exhibited higher incidence of RD after successful treatment for BPPV. Age, moderate to severe dizziness, and moderate to severe anxiety were independent risk factors of RD in middle-aged and older adults.

Backgrounds: Recent research suggests that uric acid, as a metabolite with antioxidant properties, may affect muscle function and health. However, the association between serum uric acid (SUA) and low muscle mass remains relatively obscure. This study focuses on the association between SUA and low muscle mass in a middle-aged and elderly population in the United States.
