- CTE was found in 215 of the 235 donors, although this degenerative brain disease can only be diagnosed after death; dementia was also common among donors.
- The researchers calculated a conservative minimum CTE prevalence of 24.5% and a maximum of 97.7% among those who died.
- Lead author Daniel Daneshvar said NFL players had about four times the general population’s death rate from neurodegenerative disease.
- The researchers urged the NFL to take measures to reduce repetitive head impacts at all levels of the sport.
"We and others have shown that in NFL players, specifically, there is about a four times higher rate of death from neurodegenerative disease than the general population," said the report's lead author Daniel Daneshvar, an associate professor at Harvard Medical School. "These findings indicate that NFL players have a higher prevalence of CTE at death than has been previously shown in multiple community based studies."— Daniel Daneshvar, lead author of the report and associate professor at Harvard Medical School
