Study: At least 1 in 4 deceased NFL players had CTE
–
Neutral summary
A new study published in the British Medical Journal found that at least one in four former NFL players who died between 2016 and 2021 had chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain disease linked to repeated head impacts. Researchers examined the brains of 235 of the 878 players who died during that period and found signs of the disease in 215 of them. The authors caution that the true prevalence may be much higher, as CTE can only be diagnosed after death and families of players with neurological symptoms may be more likely to donate brains. The lead author called the findings "a wake-up call for the NFL and scientific communities."
