Unrecognized Repetitive Head Impact Exposure Among Older Adults Across Three Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers
There is a high risk of underestimating the scope of RHI influence on brain aging. Among older adults, history of TBI and RHI from popular contact/collision sports is exceedingly common but unrecognized. RHI may contribute to the wide variability observed in the onset and progression of neurodegenerative conditions. Studying head trauma exposure relevant for later-life brain health, such as sport- and military-related RHI, requires dedicated questioning.
