Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is an inner ear disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of positional vertigo. The connection between vitamin D insufficiency\/deficiency and the onset and recurrence of BPPV is established. This study aims to assess vitamin D as a recurring factor in BPPV and the efficacy of vitamin D supplementation in preventing its recurrence. A comprehensive literature review on the relationship between vitamin D and BPPV recurrence was conducted, searching PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and article reference lists for studies published from 2020 to 2023. A total of 79 articles were initially identified through the search, with 12 of them being utilized in the study. Recurrence rates for BPPV varied from 13.7% to 23% for studies with follow-up less than 1 year and 13.3% to 65% for studies with follow-up equal to or exceeding 2 years. Risk factors for BPPV recurrence include advanced age, female sex, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, osteoporosis, and vitamin D deficiency. While earlier studies did not establish a link between low vitamin D levels and initial BPPV occurrence, they did associate recurrent episodes with low vitamin D levels. Recent research indicates that vitamin D supplementation in BPPV patients with deficiency or insufficiency decreases both the numbers of relapsing patients and relapses per patient. To validate these findings across diverse populations, further randomized controlled studies with larger cohorts and extended follow-up durations are essential.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu16050689","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,29]],"date-time":"2024-02-29T05:59:19Z","timestamp":1709186359000},"page":"689","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Vitamin D Supplementation and Recurrence of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6182-9184","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guil","family":"Rhim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology, One Otorhinolaryngology Clinic, Paju 10924, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4148-9116","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Moon-Jung","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laboratory Medicine, Konyang University College of Medicine, Daejeon 35365, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"371","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.37.3.371","article-title":"Benign positional vertigo: Clinical and oculographic features in 240 cases","volume":"37","author":"Baloh","year":"1987","journal-title":"Neurology"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"40","DOI":"10.1097\/WCO.0b013e328013f432","article-title":"Epidemiology of vertigo","volume":"20","author":"Neuhauser","year":"2007","journal-title":"Curr.
