Objective: To analyze the biopsychosocial factors associated with complaints of dizziness in older adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive study with a sample selected for convenience was performed in a university hospital. The participants were individuals aged 60 years or older diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Patients were assessed using a multidimensional survey, containing sociodemographic, clinical-functional, psycho-psychological and cognitive data. The Mini-Mental State Exam and the Short Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) were used to screen for cognitive deficits and depressive symptoms, respectively, and the Timed Up and Go Test was used to assess mobility. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-square and Mann-Whitney tests. Results: The sample consisted of 157 older adults of whom 45.22% complained of dizziness. There was a statistically significant association between dizziness and the variables: female sex, being unmarried, a low level of education, a negative self-perception of general health and vision, complaints of pain in the lower limbs, a fear of falling, a tendency to fall, cognitive impairment and psychological symptoms. Conclusion: Knowledge of the factors associated with the complaint of dizziness in older adults with DM2 allows improved targeting of prevention, assessment and intervention actions, in order to minimize the occurrence of falls, maintain or optimize functional capacity and cognitive skills, and thus improve quality of life.

Transient ischemic attack (TIA) in the vertebrobasilar vascular territory (VB) causes difficulties in diagnosis when it manifests only with vestibular symptoms. Issues relating to the differential diagnosis of TIA are discussed, awareness of which is necessary for the selection of informative methods of examination and the prescription of effective stroke prevention in patients with an episode of isolated dizziness. The likelihood of TIA as the cause of dizziness is increased by the patients' high cardiovascular risk, the presence of atrial fibrillation, severe instability during an attack, and head and/or neck pain. If a TIA in VB is suspected, it is advisable to perform a minimal instrumental examination, including computed tomography (CT) of the brain and CT angiography or diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and MRI angiography. In case of doubt, additional information can be obtained by a perfusion CT or MRI as well as a post-contrast MRI. When interpreting the results of these methods of examination, their limitations in terms of application time and resolution should be taken into account.
