Common and non-specific symptoms such as headache and dizziness may be wrongfully attributed to meningiomas, which can lead to unnecessary surgery and anxiety for the patient. Understanding the prevalence of meningioma is therefore pivotal to assess the burden of this disease and determine indications for surgery.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Participants in this study were recruited through \u201cThe Gothenburg H70 Birth cohort study\u201d wherein the health of 70-year-olds is examined. Clinical characteristics and symptoms such as sex, body mass index, history of smoking, previous head trauma, previous seizure, headache, dizziness, dementia, and life quality were evaluated.

The prevalence of meningioma was 1.8% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200914).
