Routine equilibrium function tests were carried out in the cases who were examined by multiphasic health screening in Kitasato University Hospital. This paper presents the results of equilibrium function tests in 170 cases aged 20 to 80 years during a four year period from 1972 to 1975. The results are summarized as follows; 1) Either gaze or non-gaze nystagmus was electronystagmographically demonstrated in about 47 per cent of all subjects. The appearance rate of these nystagmus did not show any difference in the groups of either age. 2) The abnormal findings in the eye tracking test and the optokinetic nystagmus pattern test were found more frequently in older persons, regardless of the existence of spontaneous nystagmus. It was assumed that the abnormality of both the eye tracking test and the optokinetic nystagmus test was caused by an aging effect in the oculomotor system. 3) Several organic diseases, such as hypertention or diabetes melitus, were found in some of these subjects. However, a correlation between the abnormal equilibrium function and organic disease was not statistically demonstrated.
