The condition is diagnosed using the Hallpike maneuver and treated by the particle-repositioning maneuver or habituation exercises. &lt;i&gt;Objective:&lt;\/i&gt;To identify patients with BPPV among a variety of diagnoses represented by the ICD-10 diagnosis R42 in people 65 aged years and older who visited primary health care because of vertigo and dizziness. &lt;i&gt;Methods:&lt;\/i&gt;Searches were performed in the computerized medical records of 6 different health care centers over the period of 1 year for the ICD-10 diagnosis R42 and the age group 65 years and older. Letters were sent to the patients identified with an invitation for assessment and physical examination by a physiotherapist. Thirty-eight patients responded to the letter and were included in the study. All patients were assessed by physical examination including the Hallpike maneuver. &lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt; The study group included 13 men and 25 women, 65\u201394 (median 83) years of age. After physical examination, 15 patients were found to have BPPV (confidence interval 24\u201355%). &lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;\/i&gt;In this study, 2 of 5 of the patients with ICD-10 diagnosis R42 (dizziness and giddiness) had BPPV. BPPV is probably an underestimated cause of dizziness\/vertigo among elderly patients in primary health care.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000088702","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,11,21]],"date-time":"2005-11-21T10:02:15Z","timestamp":1132567335000},"page":"386-389","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":46,"title":["Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo among Elderly Patients in Primary Health Care"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"51","author":[{"given":"Eva","family":"Ekvall Hansson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nils-Ove","family":"M\u00e5nsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anders","family":"H\u00e5kansson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,11,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000213696"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080%2F003655000750045550"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.0307-7772.2004.00785.x"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000075558"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080%2F00016489850154559"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136%2Fbmj.326.7391.673"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2FBF00176699"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046%2Fj.1365-2273.2002.00613.x"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0194-5998%2896%2970284-X"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080%2F14038190310016625"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109%2F00016482009123103"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080%2F02813430310000942"}],"container-title":["Gerontology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/88702","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/88702","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T03:33:07Z","timestamp":1745465587000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000088702"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2005]]},"references-count":12,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,12,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000088702","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0304-324X","1423-0003"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0304-324X","type":"print"},{"value":"1423-0003","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2005]]}}}
