Brain disease in ex-NFL players 'higher than previously shown'
A recent study found that at least 25% of former NFL players who died between 2016 and 2021 had a degenerative brain disease, a rate higher than earlier estimates. The researchers suggest the actual prevalence could be even greater, indicating a potentially larger public health concern among retired football athletes. The findings were reported by an independent research team and highlight the need for further investigation into long‑term neurological risks associated with professional football.
