Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is increasingly recognised as a risk factor for dementia. Sports concussion is the mildest form of TBI, but occurs frequently in contact sports, with some players sustaining multiple concussions during their career. Despite the increased attention on this topic, it is not known whether repeated concussions during an athlete’s career lead to a greater vulnerability or a greater risk for dementia later in life. This research program aims to investigate these concerns.

创伤性脑损伤（TBI）越来越被认为是痴呆症的危险因素。运动脑震荡是 TBI 最轻微的形式，但在接触性运动中经常发生，有些运动员在职业生涯中遭受过多次脑震荡。尽管人们对这个话题的关注越来越多，但尚不清楚运动员职业生涯中反复遭受脑震荡是否会导致以后的生活更加脆弱或患痴呆症的风险更大。该研究计划旨在调查这些问题。
