Overview

The incidence of BPPV is approximately 107 cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide. The prevalence of BPPV is approximately 65 per 100,000 individuals worldwide. Idiopathic BPPV commonly affects individuals older than 50 years of age. BPPV following head trauma can happen in younger ages. women are more commonly affected by BPPV than men. The women to men ratio is approximately 2 to 1.
