Abstract

Concerns regarding cognitive decline due to history of concussions/head injury are common among former athletes, especially as long-term effects of head injury have gained widespread media attention. Examining the association of these concerns with current cognitive functioning may prove beneficial for understanding the prominence of these concerns. This study investigated whether concerns for cognitive problems due to prior concussions/head injury might relate to current cognitive functioning in former college athletes. Former college athletes aged 50–87 (N = 597, 44.22% female) from the College Level Aging Athlete Study (CLEAATS) completed the Cognitive Function Instrument (CFI) and the Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status-Modified (TICS-m). Self-reported concern regarding contribution of history of concussions and/or head impacts to the development of “permanent memory or thinking problems”was measured on a 5-point Likert scale. Two multiple linear regressions investigated whether reported concern predicted subjective (CFI) and objective (TICS-m) cognitive functioning, with adjustment for age, gender, education, and mood/anxiety symptoms. Overall models CFI [F(6,590) = 69.78, R2 = 0.42, p < 0.001] and TICS-m [F(6,590) = 17.78, R2 = 0.15, p < 0.001] were significant. Level of concern for memory/thinking problems significantly predicted CFI scores (b = 0.68, p < 0.001) but not TICS-m scores, such that greater concern predicted higher CFI score. Concern regarding cognitive problems due to history of concussion/head impacts may be associated with greater perceived cognitive symptoms among former college athletes, but this was unrelated to an objective measure of cognition. Further investigation is necessary to clarify the origin of these concerns, but these results underscore the importance of promoting accurate public information about long-term effects of concussion/head injury.

A - 58 老年退役大学生运动员对认知障碍的关注与当前认知功能之间的关系

退役运动员普遍对脑震荡/头部损伤史导致的认知能力下降感到担忧，尤其是头部损伤的长期影响已引起媒体的广泛关注。研究这些担忧与当前认知功能之间的关联可能有助于了解这些担忧的严重性。本研究调查了退役大学生运动员对之前脑震荡/头部受伤导致的认知问题的担忧是否与当前的认知功能有关。来自 "大学水平老年运动员研究"（CLEAATS）的 50-87 岁退役大学运动员（人数= 597，44.22% 为女性）完成了认知功能问卷（CFI）和认知状况电话访谈（TICS-m）。对于脑震荡和/或头部撞击史是否会导致 "永久性记忆或思维问题 "的自我报告，采用 5 点李克特量表进行测量。在对年龄、性别、教育程度和情绪/焦虑症状进行调整后，两个多重线性回归调查了所报告的担忧是否能预测主观（CFI）和客观（TICS-m）认知功能。总体模型 CFI [F(6,590) = 69.78, R2 = 0.42, p < 0.001] 和 TICS-m [F(6,590) = 17.78, R2 = 0.15, p < 0.001] 显著。对记忆/思维问题的关注程度能显著预测CFI得分（b = 0.68，p < 0.001），但不能预测TICS-m得分，因为关注程度越高，CFI得分越高。对脑震荡/头部撞击史导致的认知问题的担忧可能与退役大学生运动员感知到的更多认知症状有关，但这与认知的客观测量无关。有必要进一步调查以澄清这些担忧的来源，但这些结果强调了向公众宣传有关脑震荡/头部损伤长期影响的准确信息的重要性。

期刊介绍： The journal publishes original contributions dealing with psychological aspects of the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders arising out of dysfunction of the central nervous system. Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology will also consider manuscripts involving the established principles of the profession of neuropsychology: (a) delivery and evaluation of services, (b) ethical and legal issues, and (c) approaches to education and training. Preference will be given to empirical reports and key reviews. Brief research reports, case studies, and commentaries on published articles (not exceeding two printed pages) will also be considered. At the discretion of the editor, rebuttals to commentaries may be invited. Occasional papers of a theoretical nature will be considered.
