Table 1. Study Population Characteristics.
| Characteristic | Healthy participants (n = 17) | Participants with vestibular loss (n = 13) | ES (95% CI)a | UVL (n = 8) | BVL (n = 5) | ES (95% CI)b |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Age, mean (SD), y | 39.27 (11.20) | 60.50 (10.81) | −1.93 (−2.81 to −1.06) | 61.66 (12.09) | 58.65 (9.39) | 0.08 (−1.03 to 1.20) |
| Female sex, No. (%) | 13 (76) | 6 (46) | 0.76 (0.63 to 0.89) | 3 (38) | 3 (60) | NR |
| BMI, mean (SD) | 25.96 (4.36) | 26.16 (4.90) | −0.04 (−0.76 to 0.68) | 25.35 (3.91) | 27.45 (6.48) | 0.22 (−0.90 to 1.34) |
| Height, mean (SD), m | 1.72 (0.09) | 1.75 (0.08) | −0.37 (−1.09 to 0.36) | 1.74 (0.09) | 1.77 (0.06) | 0.10 (−1.02 to 1.22) |
| History of falls, No. (%) | 1 (6) | 5 (39) | 1.07 (0.92 to 1.21) | 4 (50) | 1 (20) | NR |
Abbreviations: BVL, bilateral vestibular loss; BMI, body mass index (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared); ES, effect size (Cohen d); NR, not reported because of small sample size for the χ2 statistic; UVL, unilateral vestibular loss.
a
These ESs are based on the t statistic from 2-tailed t tests.
b
These ESs are based on P values (adjusted using the Tukey method for honestly significant difference) from pairwise comparisons for adults with UVL vs those with BVL within 1-way analysis of variance.
