Meniere's disease: A 30‐Year epidemiologic and clinical study in rochester, mn, 1951‐1980.

Abstract
One hundred eighty cases of Meniere's disease were identified in the Rochester, MN population during the 30-year period, 1951 through 1980. The annual age-adjusted incidence rate per 100,000 population was 15.3; the preponderance for females (16.3) over males (13.3) was not statistically significant. There was no change in annual incidence rate from 1951 through 1970, and a slight decrease in the period, 1971 through 1980. The prevalence rate on January 1,1980, was 218.2 per 100,000 population. Clinical aspects of Meniere's disease noted during the course of this study are reported.
