• Measured fall risk through easy walking evaluations.
• Compared psychological assessments of fall risk with physical evaluations.
• 70.8% of patients demonstrated a fall risk during head rotation evaluations.
• 25.0% exhibited fall risk under easier walking assessments.
• Sarcopenia prevalence in chronic dizziness patients was approximately double that of local residents.
• Fractures and nursing care dependence increased due to higher fall risk related to vestibular dysfunction.
