Feb 24, 2026Orthostatic Intolerance in Aging: Causes, Risks, and Evidence-Based ManagementOrthostatic intolerance — dizziness or near-fainting upon standing — affects up to 20% of adults over 65 and substantially increases fall risk. This article reviews the mechanisms and evidence-based management strategies.
Feb 24, 2026Vestibular Dysfunction in Aging: Dizziness, Balance, and Rehabilitation EvidenceAge-related vestibular decline affects over 35% of adults over 40 and is a leading cause of falls. Vestibular rehabilitation therapy has strong RCT evidence for reducing dizziness burden and improving gait confidence in peripheral vestibular hypofunction. Early diagnosis and structured rehabilitation significantly alter trajectory.
