Cohort study | Professional soccer players are at increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias

21 Mar, 2023 | 13:46h | UTC

Summary: The article reports on a cohort study conducted in Sweden to investigate whether male soccer players in the top division are at increased risk of neurodegenerative disease compared to matched controls from the general population. This is a topic of concern as there is a hypothesis that the repetitive mild head trauma sustained through heading the ball and concussions might cause neurodegenerative disease.

The study included 6007 football players and 56,168 controls and used nationwide registers to identify diagnoses of neurodegenerative disease. The study revealed that male professional soccer players in Sweden had a higher risk of neurodegenerative disease, particularly Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, and outfield players had a higher risk than goalkeepers.

Comparative study highlights women’s lower susceptibility to sudden cardiac arrest during sports

21 Mar, 2023 | 13:44h | UTC

Summary: This study assessed the incidence, characteristics, and outcomes of sports-related sudden cardiac arrest (Sr-SCA) in women. Data from three European registries were analyzed, identifying 34,826 SCA cases between 2006 and 2017, with 760 cases (2.2%) being Sr-SCA, including 54 in women.

The average annual incidence of Sr-SCA in women was 0.19 per million, over 10 times lower than in men (2.63 per million). When extrapolated to the European population, this translates to 98 cases per year in women and 1,350 cases in men.

Characteristics, bystander response, time to defibrillation, and survival rates did not significantly differ between women and men. The findings highlight the considerably lower risk of Sr-SCA in women compared to men and should be considered when designing preparticipation screening strategies in the future.

The paradox of endurance training: higher coronary plaque prevalence found in lifelong athletes

21 Mar, 2023 | 13:42h | UTC

Summary: The Master@Heart study aimed to investigate the relationship between lifelong endurance exercise and coronary atherosclerosis measured by computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) in a cohort of 191 lifelong master endurance athletes, 191 late-onset athletes, and 176 healthy non-athletes. All participants were male with a low cardiovascular risk profile.

The study found that lifelong endurance sport participation was not associated with a more favorable coronary plaque composition compared to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. In fact, lifelong endurance athletes exhibited a higher prevalence of coronary plaques, including more non-calcified plaques in proximal segments, than fit and healthy individuals with a similarly low cardiovascular risk profile.

Further research is needed to understand how these findings on CTCA might translate into clinical events in endurance athletes.
