THOUSAND AVIATOR STUDY: NONVESTIBULAR CONTRIBUTIONS TO POSTURAL EQUILIBRIUM FUNCTIONS,

Abstract

In a preliminary study of nonvestibular sources of variance in the postural equilibrium functioning of a group of middle -aged males, twenty-eight of thirty-eight selected measures were shown to be related to one or another of three postural criteria. Outstanding among these, in descending order of magnitude, are: abdominal circumference, age, endomorphy, heart rate immediately after exercise, and duration of cigarette smoking. These and other findings are discussed in terms of their implications for vestibular and gerontological research. (Author)
