Retrospective study shows soccer linked with Alzheimer’s and CTE
quote:
Professional soccer players appear to be at considerably increased risk for death from neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer disease (AD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and Parkinson disease (PD), new research shows.
A retrospective cohort study of more than 7000 former professional soccer players showed that overall, they had a threefold increased risk for death from neurodegenerative disease compared to a matched group of healthy control persons. Former soccer players had a fivefold increased mortality risk from AD, a fourfold increased risk of dying from motor neuron disease/ALS, and a twofold increased mortality risk from PD.

Yeah, contact sports are bad for your brain.
There is also this.
Would have been nice if they looked at all cause mortality as an end point as well.

This is why youth soccer does not allow headers up to a certain age.
