OBJECTIVE.我们试图调查性别和年龄对前庭诱发肌源性电位（VEMP）的影响。研究对象为60名健康成年志愿者（男28名，女32名）。研究对象年龄分布在20 ~ 77岁之间。结果：VEMP无性别差异。有一个显着的相关性年龄和两个唤起阈值和plnll振幅的VEMP，而没有显着的相关性之间观察到年龄和左右差异的VEMP.CONCLUSIONS：年龄之间的相关性和参数的VEMP大概是次要的年龄相关的功能变化的感觉和神经元素的VEMP。在评估单侧病变时，使用非患侧的值来评估VEMP是安全的。然而，当怀疑双侧病变时，在评价VEMP时可能需要考虑年龄因素。
OBJECTIVE. We sought to investigate the effects of gender and age on the vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (VEMP).STUDY DESIGN AND SETTINGS. Sixty healthy adult volunteers (28 male and 32 female) were investigated in this study. The subject age was distributed between 20 and 77 years old.RESULTS: No gender-related differences were detected in the VEMP. There was a significant correlation between age and both the evoking threshold and the plnll amplitude of the VEMP, whereas no significant correlation was observed between age and left-right differences of the VEMP.CONCLUSIONS: The correlation between age and the parameters of the VEMP is presumably secondary to age-related functional changes in the sensory and neural elements of the VEMP. It is safe to evaluate the VEMP using the value of the non-affected side when assessing unilateral lesions. However, it may be necessary to take age into account in evaluating the VEMP when bilateral lesions are suspected.
