Abstract: This study explored the relation between Ménière’s disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The ?40-year-old population of the Korean National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening Cohort was included. In total, 7734 Ménière’s disease patients and 30,936 control participants were enrolled. Control participants were matched for age, sex, income, and region of residence with Ménière’s disease participants. The odds of having Ménière’s disease given a history of COPD were analyzed using conditional logistic regression. Subgroup analyses were conducted according to age, sex, income, and region of residence. The odds of having Ménière’s disease were found to be 1.18-fold higher with a history of COPD than with no history of COPD (95% confidence intervals (CI) = 1.06–1.32, E-value (CI) = 1.64 (1.31)). The ?60 years old, male, low-income, and rural subgroups showed increased odds of developing Ménière’s disease when a history of COPD was reported. A history of COPD was associated with an increased risk of Ménière’s disease in the adult population.
