Childhood Trauma Tied to Dementia Symptoms in Former Football Players
Researchers sought to determine whether concussions and a history of playing football influenced a possible association between ACEs and poor neuropsychiatric health.

Researchers determined that although the incidence of concussion was similar among men and women, the rate of non-sport-related concussion was higher than that of sport-related concussion.
The rate of concussions sustained during high school football practice has decreased over the past 5 years, while the rate of concussions sustained in competition during regular football game season has increased.
Multimodal MRI in concussed athletes highlights persistent effects on CBF and mean diffusivity 1 year after medical clearance to return to play.
Sex difference in concussion recovery may be explained by delay in seeking specialty care.
Each year, an average of 283,000 children aged younger than 18 years sought care in emergency departments for SRR-TBI.
Sports-related concussion is a complex, heterogeneous brain injury that typically resolves clinically in 1 to 4 weeks.
Only 27% of the population recovered and 67% of those who recovered did, did so in the first year.
