目的在一项回顾性队列研究中，我们评估了退役美国国家橄榄球联盟(NFL)中老年退役球员中开始铲球的年龄(ABTF)和踢球总年限(TYPF)是否与较差的晚年神经心理变化有关。混合线性模型评估ABTF/TYFP与基线神经心理综合评分(执行功能/注意力/速度、语言、记忆)以及随时间推移的神经心理综合评分之间的关系。结果ABTF和TYFP在基线或随时间推移与神经心理综合评分无显著相关性(Alp‘s &> .05)。12岁和 ≥ 12岁的人之间的神经心理表现没有显著差异(ALLP的 ≥ .475)，或者那些打了19岁或19岁的人之间的神经心理表现没有显著差异(中位数分裂；ALLP的 ≥ 的 ≥ .208)。结论初步的研究结果表明，ABTF和TYPF不会加重老年美国国家橄榄球联盟退休人员的神经认知能力下降。
ObjectiveIn a retrospective cohort, we evaluated whether age beginning tackle football (ABTF) and more total years of playing football (TYPF) were associated with worse later-in-life neuropsychological change among older retired National Football League (NFL) players.MethodParticipants were 19 older NFL retirees aged 54–79, including 12 who returned for follow-up evaluation 15–51 months later. Mixed-linear models evaluated the association between ABTF/TYFP and baseline neuropsychological composite scores (executive functioning/attention/speed, language, memory), and neuropsychological composites over time.ResultsABTF and TYPF were not significantly associated with neuropsychological composites at baseline or over time (allp’s > .05). There were no significant differences in neuropsychological performance between those ABTF <12 and ≥ 12 years old (allp’s ≥ .475) or between those with TYPF <19 or ≥ 19 years played (median split; allp’s ≥ .208).ConclusionsPreliminary findings suggest that ABTF and TYPF does not worsen neurocognitive decline later-in-life among older NFL retirees.
