A recent study published in BMJ has highlighted the alarming prevalence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain disease linked to dementia, depression, and suicidal tendencies among former NFL players.
The research found that at least 25% of those who died between 2016 and 2021 had CTE. The demographics of current football players are equally concerning.
