Study Summary
This project will define the prevalence of brain health (i.e., normal cognitive, neuromotor, behavioral function) in living professional football retirees and group-matched controls through a comprehensive assessment of clinical, neuroimaging, and biomarker measures.
Primary Outcome
The diagnosis of cognitive impairment is based on the ADRC National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center (NACC) criteria for mild cognitive impairment. This criteria is adjudicated following a comprehensive neuropsychological exam, and includes: (1) Self- or informant-reported cognitive complaint, (2) Objective cognitive impairment, (3) Preserved independence in functional abilities, and (4) No dementia.
