Consequences of NFL© Head Injuries

A number of studies have investigated the long-term effects of head injuries sustained by NFL© players, which may include:

• Memory loss
• Difficulty with concentration
• Headaches
• Speech impediments
• Neurological issues
• Personality changes
• Dizziness
• Ringing in the ears
• Depression

In 2007, researchers from the University of North Carolina Center for the Study of Retired Athletes evaluated the consequences of head injuries for football players. Of 595 former NFL© players who had sustained at least 3 concussions, up to 20.2 reported suffering from depression. Researchers noted that this is an alarming 3 times higher than the rate of depression for NFL© players with no concussions.

A study by researchers at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research, commissioned by the NFL© in 2008, showed a higher rate of diagnosis for Alzheimer’s disease and related memory conditions in former NFL© players. These researchers found that the rate of current and former NFL© players diagnosed with these types of conditions is up to 19 times higher than the rate of diagnosis for men ages 30 to 49.
