INTRODUCTION: Susceptibility to @entity11535 ( @entity11535 ) is known to be affected by gender and ethnic origin, but whether gender and ethnicity are interacting is unknown. METHODS: We investigated @entity11535 development in healthy Caucasian subjects (n = 227), and in subjects of Chinese origin (n = 82). All subjects were exposed to @entity390 -inducing @entity717 in a rotation chair, and rotated around the yaw axis for 5 x 1 min, while they were instructed to move their heads. Prior to rotation, subjects had to fill out a motion- @entity2704 susceptibility questionnaire (MSSQ). Total @entity717 ( @entity717 ) was noted. Symptom ratings (SR) were performed at the beginning, and immediately after the end of each rotation, and 15 and 30 min later. RESULTS: The average @entity717 was significantly higher in Caucasian (163 +/- 6 s) than in Chinese subjects (111 +/- 7 s) (F = 24.84, p < 0.0001). The adult MSSQ score was significantly lower in Caucasians (17.8 +/- 1.1) than in Chinese volunteers (24.2 +/- 2.1) (F = 6.05, p = 0.014). Maximal SR post rotation was similar in Chinese and Caucasian subjects. @entity717 was highly predictable from the MSSQ scores, but separate for both genders. CONCLUSION: Susceptibility to @entity11535 is affected by both ethnic origin and by gender in a rather complex fashion. The most reliable prediction of @entity717 can be based on the individual's history as assessed by the MSSQ.
