BACKGROUND: In field studies, @entity11535 is more common among @entity1 than among @entity1 . In laboratory research sex differences have been smaller, or absent. However, laboratory research on sex differences in @entity11535 has employed exclusively rotational motion stimuli. We evaluated sex differences when @entity11535 was induced using linear @entity227 . METHOD: Standing subjects were exposed to linear @entity227 along the line of sight. We separately assessed the incidence of @entity11535 and the severity of symptoms that are associated with @entity11535 . RESULTS: The incidence of @entity11535 was 38% among @entity1 , but only 9% among @entity1 . Among subjects who stated that they were motion sick, the severity of symptoms did not differ between @entity1 and @entity1 . CONCLUSIONS: @entity11535 induced using linear visual oscillatory stimuli exhibited sex differences greater than those that have been reported in field studies. Sex differences in @entity11535 may vary as a function of the type of motion stimulation (linear versus angular).
