Abstract

Objective: Despite robust research endeavors exploring post-play health implications in former NFL players, the impact of former-player status on long-term cardiovascular health has not yet been elucidated. The purpose of this systematic review is to describe the available research on the cardiovascular health in former NFL players.

Methods: Relevant studies were included from the PubMed, Scopus, and Embase databases. Studies were evaluated in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Two independent reviewers conducted the title/abstract screenings and risk of bias determinations. The results of the studies were extracted for inclusion in the review.

Results: Sixteen studies met inclusion criteria. Though evidence was discordant among studies, former NFL players appeared to possess more favorable metabolic profiles and decreased mortality compared to community controls. Of note, 90% of former players were found to be overweight or obese.

Conclusion: Though cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among former NFL players, they possess comparable metabolic and cardiovascular profiles to community controls. Further research is necessary to ascertain the impact of NFL play on cardiovascular health and develop tailored preventative care strategies for former players.

美国国家橄榄球联盟退役球员的心血管疾病：系统综述。

目的：尽管对退役 NFL 球员的赛后健康影响进行了大量研究，但退役球员身份对长期心血管健康的影响尚未得到阐明。本系统性综述旨在描述有关前 NFL 球员心血管健康的现有研究：方法：从 PubMed、Scopus 和 Embase 数据库中纳入相关研究。研究按照 PRISMA 指南进行评估。由两名独立审稿人进行标题/摘要筛选和偏倚风险判断。研究结果经提取后纳入综述：结果：16 项研究符合纳入标准。尽管不同研究的证据不一致，但与社区对照组相比，前 NFL 球员似乎拥有更有利的代谢特征，死亡率也有所降低。值得注意的是，90% 的退役球员都超重或肥胖：结论：虽然心血管疾病是前 NFL 球员的主要死因，但他们的代谢和心血管状况与社区对照组相当。有必要开展进一步的研究，以确定 NFL 运动对心血管健康的影响，并为退役球员制定有针对性的预防保健策略。

We examine the latest drug discoveries to advance treatment and recovery, and take into account the medical aspects of exercise therapy for a given condition. We cover the latest primary care-focused treatments serving the needs of our active patient population, and assess the limits these treatments govern in stabilization and recovery. The Physician and Sportsmedicine is a peer-to-peer method of communicating the latest research to aid primary care physicians’ advancement in methods of care and treatment. We routinely cover such topics as: managing chronic disease, surgical techniques in preventing and managing injuries, the latest advancements in treatments for helping patients lose weight, and related exercise and nutrition topics that can impact the patient during recovery and modification.
