Background and Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence and risk factors of subjective dizziness complaints in general population.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed using data from The Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. We evaluated data from 12,653 subjects who were interviewed between 2010 and 2012.
Results: The prevalence of subjective dizziness was 21.7%. Female gender (adjusted odds ratio, AOR=1.959; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.680?2.284; p＜0.001), lower alcohol consumption (reference ≤1 time a month; 1?4 times a month [AOR]=0.844, 95% CI=0.752? 0.948; ≥2 times a week, AOR=0.812, 95% CI=0.705?0.935, p=0.002), higher stress (AOR=1.784, 95% CI=1.613?1.973, p＜0.001), lower income (reference=lowest; middle low, AOR=0.815, 95% CI=0.720?0.923; middle high, AOR=0.696, 95% CI=0.606?0.799; highest, AOR=0.682, 95% CI=0.594?0.784, p＜0.001) increased odds ratio of subjective dizziness, while body mass index and smoking was not associated with subjective dizziness.
