| الوصف: | Participation in American-style football (ASF) has been linked to chronic traumatic encephalopathy neuropathological change (CTE-NC), a specific neuropathologic finding that can only be established at autopsy. Despite being a postmortem diagnosis, living former ASF players may perceive themselves to have CTE-NC. At present, the proportion and clinical correlates of living former professional ASF athletes with perceived CTE who report suicidality are unknown. To determine the proportion, clinical correlates, and suicidality of living former professional ASF players with perceived CTE. A cross-sectional study within the Football Players Health Study at Harvard University was conducted from 2017 to 2020. Using electronic and paper surveys, this population-based study included former ASF players who contracted with a professional league from 1960 to 2020 and volunteered to fill out a baseline survey. Data for this study were analyzed from June 2023 through March 2024. Data included demographics, football-related exposures (eg, position, career duration), and current health problems (anxiety, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, depression, diabetes, emotional and behavioral dyscontrol symptoms, headache, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, low testosterone level, pain, sleep apnea, and subjective cognitive function). The proportion of participants reporting perceived CTE. Univariable and multivariable models were used to determine clinical and suicidality correlates of perceived CTE. Among 4180 former professional ASF players who volunteered to fill out a baseline survey, 1980 (47.4%) provided follow-up data (mean [SD] age, 57.7 [13.9] years). A total of 681 participants (34.4%) reported perceived CTE. Subjective cognitive difficulties, low testosterone level, headache, concussion signs and symptoms accrued during playing years, depressive/emotional and behavioral dyscontrol symptoms, pain, and younger age were significantly associated with perceived CTE. Suicidality was reported by 171 of 681 participants with ... |
