Between Aril 1975 and December 1976, the second nationwide survey of Meniere's disease in Japan was made by the 17 members of the Meniere's Disease Research Committee of Japan. The epidemiological data from 520 patients with definite Meniere's disease were analyzed in comparison with those from the 126 patients in the non-Meniere vertiginous group (Control A) and the 228 patients in the rhinolaryngological group (Control B). The male:female ratio of definite cases of Meniere's disease was almost the same, and the age distribution peaked at the age group of 40--49 years for males, while the peak for females was at the age group of 30--39 years. 5.8% of the 520 patients had a close relative who also suffered from Meniere's disease. From the epidemiological features, it may appear that the occurrence of vertiginous attacks in Meniere's disease is influenced much more by individual than by environmental factors. However, this feature can be considered as another evidence of the psychosomatic disorders involved in Meniere's disease.
