“…In addition to recurrent forms of BPPV induced by surgery, head trauma, or inner ear disease, many factors appear to be related to recurrence, such as advanced age, female gender, osteoporosis, and other systemic disease such as hypertension, diabetes, and depression [7,8]. Our study also revealed that age was a significant factor for BPPV recurrence.…”

“…Although BPPV management is well established, the underlying causes of otoconial degeneration and dislodgement from the utricle are not fully known. Several predisposing factors for BPPV have been reported and linked to recurrence, including advanced age, female sex, osteoporosis, trauma, and other inner ear disorders [1,7,19]. Several studies suggested a correlation between BPPV with osteoporosis and vitamin D deficiency, implying that abnormal calcium metabolism may underlie BPPV [4,12,21,27].…”

“…Another study by Yamanaka et al [6] reported a higher incidence of BPPV recurrence (56.3%) in premenopausal woman aged ≥50 years compared to postmenopausal patients with normal bone density (16.1%). The risk of recurrence further increased when patients had two or more underlying comorbidities, such as hypertension, diabetes, or osteoarthrosis [7]. Buki et al [8] reported that patients who were on vitamin D supplementation therapy showed no additional recurrence of BPPV.…”

“…There is a recent study, De Stefano et al, 2014, where it is possible to demonstrate that hypertension alone influences recurrence and it appears that the presence of comorbidities exposes the patient to an increased risk of relapse of BPPV. 17 In our cases this does not happen probably due to the size of the sample.…”
