Dementia risk in professional footballers is linked to player position and career length, study finds

Lead author Willie Stewart, a consultant neuropathologist and honorary professor at Glasgow University, said, “We have already established that former professional footballers are at a much greater risk of death from dementia and other neurodegenerative disorders than expected. These latest data take that observation further and suggest this risk reflects cumulative exposure to factors associated with outfield positions.”
