Abstract: 

ObjectivesThe prevalence of different geriatric syndromes in older home care (HC) recipients is yet to be determined. Dizziness is often regarded as a geriatric syndrome. The natural course of dizziness in older people is still unknown, because of a lack of longitudinal studies. The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence and persistence of dizziness in HC recipients.
