The researcher of this study said the findings "suggest a problem in calcium metabolism in people with vertigo." Since the relationship between the two hasn't been defined yet, all we know is that a relationship exists, not whether it's causal. At this point, all that can be said is that vertigo may be a good indicator of bone disease. Benign vertigo is the most common, and is attributed to the loose calcium particles in the ear that are particularly sensitive to some movements, like getting out of bed in the morning. This condition is most generally associated with growing older and its exact cause hasn't been pinpointed. As long as you continue to test your BMD and stay active and your/your mom's vertigo doesn't worsen, it seems you're doing all the right things. We'll just have to wait to find out which comes first.
