Collision Sports and Neurodegenerative Disease: Inclusion of Moderating Risk Factors

Year: 2025

Type: review

Abstract: Collision sport participation with repetitive head impacts has been associated with increased risk of neurodegenerative diseases, but also have lower mortality rates for many individual conditions. The role of modifiable risk factors in later life development of neurodegenerative diseases in athletes is a clear knowledge gap and a potential opportunity for interventions to improve health related quality of life.
