1 in 4 Former NFL Players Had CTE, Study Finds

A new study reveals that at least one in four former NFL players who died between 2016 and 2021 suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).

Researchers analyzed 235 donated brains from the 878 former players who died during that period and found that 215, or 91.5%, showed signs of CTE. This degenerative disease, linked to repeated head trauma, can only be definitively diagnosed post-mortem and is associated with memory problems, mood disorders, and dementia. turconews.click
