A neurosurgeon not involved in the study called it the best attempt yet to correct for selection bias but stressed it remains a modeled estimate rather than a direct measurement.
“it is an estimate from a model and should be read that way.”

John Urschel cited the CTE risk when he decided to quit the NFL and pursue his math PhD. He just published https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.06785 which seems to be a significant result from where I'm standing, but I can't really tell what's what with math at that level.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Urschel> In August 2015, an incident gave him a…

Also, this doesn't actually tell us what the risks are today, only in the past. How old were these guys? When did they play? Helmet technology has changed quite a bit, but the game is also faster now. This study basically says, we know football used to be really dangerous. It probably still is, but we won't have data on that until this generation…

「NFL選手の間で脳疾患が蔓延していることが新たな推定で示唆される」： # NYT 「統計的手法を用いた新たな研究により、衝撃的な推定値が導き出された。引退したプロフットボール選手の4人に3人は、死亡時に慢性外傷性脳症（CTE）を患っていた可能性が高いというのだ。 この研究によると、過去6年間に亡くなったNFL引退選手の少なくとも25％が、慢性外傷性脳症（CTE）を患っていたことが判明した。CTEは、頭部への繰り返しの衝撃に関連する神経変性脳疾患である。 しかし、亡くなった選手の残りの75％のほとんどは検査を受けていない。そのため、亡くなった元NFL選手におけるCTEの実際の罹患率という、複雑で重大な問題が未解決のまま残された。…

A staggering number of NFL players die with the brain disease CTE. And now new estimates suggest as many as 75 percent of former players are affected.

Respectfully, did you ever play tackle football? I ask because it's easy to look at something you're not familiar with & not see the value.I played football in high school & college. Did I get hurt? Yes. But I also got hurt in other sports. My worst injury by far was in baseball (it required ~22 stitches & I couldn't see out of one eye for a…

Chris nowinski brought up eliminating tackle football before high school would immediately reduce the number of hits taken by a huge amount. The problem isn't just NFL players. It's anyone that plays 10-12 years of football. Which when you start in first grade or kindergarten it's very easy to get to that amount.

The real comparison study here would be to measure the other football codes (soccer, rugby, canadian, aussie rules, gaelic, etc) and see how that compares.Especially recently, international contact sports have become quite aware of the brain issue and have moved a lot to change things. Even as an avid NFL fan [0], I am shocked at how violent…

Am I the only one who feels as though these studies need to move past the NFL and go into HS sports. Not every football player makes it to the NFL but everyone who makes it to the NFL has had more snaps played from little league to college on average.

An estimated 75% of former NFL players who died between 2008 and 2023 had chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, the neurodegenerative brain disease tied to high-impact sports such as football, according to a new study. https://www. espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/503118 53/study-nearly-75-nfl-players-died-2008-23-had-cte

Here's a link to the study.[1] Since CTE can only be diagnosed by slicing up the brain, and former NFL players only tend to donate their brains to study if they're experiencing cognitive issues, there's obviously a bias in the sample. They tried to adjust for this by looking at rates of cognitive impairment in NFL players who donated their brains…

Much less kids in youth football leagues, who play tackle football in full pads. There's a youth football field a few blocks from our house, and I think of those kids sometimes.

Play flag football. It's a great sport without the terrible risks. It's also being played by girls too.I coach middle school girls. It's a blast. It has by far the most strategy of any youth sport.If I had sons, I wouldn't let them play tackle football before high school, and I would have to think long and hard about that even.I enjoyed flag…

Did you? If player quality is so much of an issue that it is affecting revenue, a nuclear option could be to remove teams.

There are even studies linking soccer ("football") to an increased risk of dementia. One large study found that the risk was highest among defenders (who tend to head the ball most frequently) and lowest among goalkeepers (who rarely do.)That study stopped short of establishing a link to CTE specifically, which can only be definitively diagnosed…

I tried contact football in 7th grade and only lasted a few practice sessions. I was shocked by what I saw; other kids throwing their bodies into each other as if they were just bags of meat, sometimes colliding head-on. The ferocity with which they did it seemed like a source of pride for them and there was this sense of one-upmanship on who…
