OBJECTIVE: Head trauma experienced in contact football is a growing health concern, but limited research has been conducted to assess associations between head trauma exposure and long-term concussion-related symptoms among former college football players.
DESIGN: We surveyed 275 former college football players who were at least 10 yrs after competition to determine the association between head trauma exposure and concussion-related symptoms later in life. Respondents provided data on their youth, high school and college playing experience, undiagnosed head injury, diagnosed concussions, and eight concussion-related symptoms. A Poisson regression was conducted to examine the association between playing experience and reported head trauma with reported symptom count, and significance was set at P ≤ 0.05.
RESULTS: Few participants reported diagnosed concussions in college (17.5%), but a large number reported undiagnosed football-related head injuries (68.8%) that might have resulted in a concussion. A few participants (40.7%) reported concussion-related symptoms. After controlling for age, high school football participation, and nonfootball concussions (lifetime), diagnosed concussions in high school or college did not significantly predict concussion symptoms later in life. However, undiagnosed football head injury (range = 1-8 injuries) reported 350%-855% greater concussion-related symptoms later in life.
CONCLUSIONS: Undiagnosed head injuries, which are less likely to be managed by a healthcare professional, were significantly associated with concussion-related symptoms later in life. These findings suggest that proper identification and management of concussions may prevent later symptoms, but more research is needed to test this conclusion.
