reduce quality of life. The risk of dizziness increases with age and frailty level. Dizziness is a strong 
risk factor for falls, and preventing falls and dizziness in older people is essential. Objectives: To

attendees of outpatient's clinics, who are sixty years or older. Full neurotological examination using 
Video goggles (spontaneous Nystagmus, with and without fixation, positional & positioning test, 
Romberg test) were applied. Results: Out of 450 persons tested, 144 (32%) had history of dizziness.

in the study group. Conclusions: As dizziness is prevalent in elderly population, early diagnosis and 
proper management of underlying pathology, can help in reducing falls and its subsequent 
complications in senior citizens.
