Midlife Brain Changes Found in Retired Soccer Players

Abstract:

A new study suggests retired professional soccer players may experience neurological changes earlier than expected. Researchers found higher rates of anxiety, depression, and brain structure differences linked to memory and decision-making. While more research is needed, experts say reducing repetitive head impacts can help protect long-term brain health without discouraging sports participation.
