Abstract:
With increasing life expectancy, there is an increase in the number of patients with symptoms caused by aging of the vestibular system - presbyvestibulopathy. Presbyvestibulopathy is based on degenerative processes in various parts of the vestibular analyzer - from the semicircular canals and otolithic receptors to the conduction tracts and vestibular nuclei. When examining such patients, it is necessary to take into account the multiplicity of damage to sensory systems in the elderly (impaired balance, vision, cognitive functions). Recognizing presbyvestibulopathy as part of the multifaceted aging process will help to develop comprehensive approaches to the treatment of patients who are always at risk for deterioration of the condition. In this review, we discuss the association of presbyvestibulopathy with neurodegenerative diseases, as well as the correlation between presbyvestibulopathy and balance, visual, cognitive, and psychological disorders.
