Bigelow RT, et al. - Among a large sample of US children (n = 10,823; aged 3-17 years), researchers used multivariable logistic regression models to explore the connections between vertigo and cognitive and psychiatric conditions. Upon analysis, the 1-year prevalence of vertigo was 1.56%. Children with vertigo had significantly higher odds of ADD, learning disability, developmental delay, and intellectual disability, and were more likely to utilize special education services relative to the rest of US children after adjusting for demographic and confounding health variables (otitis media and headaches/migraine). In addition, children with vertigo had higher odds of having difficulty with emotions, concentration, or behavior, and having a poor attention span. According to findings, vertigo is related to significantly increased odds of cognitive and psychiatric comorbidity in US children. Such results support the assumption that, for normal cognitive and psychiatric development in children, the vestibular system plays an important role.
