Abstract：Objective To identify risk factors for the onset of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo for reducing risk factor exposure and early intervention in BPPV.Methods A systematic search of the CNKI,VIP,WanFang Data,PubMed,EMbase and Web of Science databases was conducted and literatures related to risk factors for onset of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in both Chinese and English were extracted.Meta-analysis was performed using the Stata 14.0 and RevMan 5.3 software.Odds ratio(OR)and 95%confidence interval(CI)were calculated for outcome indica-tors,and heterogeneity was evaluated via subgroup analysis,publication bias assessment and sensitivity analysis.Re-sults A total of 21 publications were included,containing a total of 216,416 patients with 14 associated risk factors.Me-ta-analysis showed that female gender,hypertension,diabetes,stroke,osteoporosis,middle ear diseases,age,cervical spondylosis,migraine,elevated triglycerides,intellectual professions,exhaustion and vitamin D deficiency were correlat-ed to the onset of BPPV.Conclusion Thirteen risk factors,including female gender,hypertension and diabetes,are po-tential risk factors for the onset of BPPV.
