"Scientists have known for some time that football is bad for NFL players’ bodies." Is this generally accepted? @NFLObjectors @kimberlyarchie @TheNeuroTimes @37919KJ https://t.co/JE5QJDGesI

I was so glad to see this new paper comparing pro athletes to pro athletes to try to tease out particular risks of different sports. Past papers have compared pros to the general population, but healthy worker bias is a major limitation of that approach. https://t.co/E7s3WK6eXK

“Former NFL players die at a faster rate than other pro athletes, study finds” very good reporting from @statnews on a new paper. I particularly appreciate the way they carefully parse relative from absolute risk here. https://t.co/xzsKVUaqGY

Breaking: Harvard study finds former NFL players are 3x more likely to die from degenerative brain diseases than MLB players. 1st death study to control for "healthy worker effect." https://t.co/iz6zggbiSX via @statnews

BREAKING: Death rate of former NFL players is 1.3 times higher than that of another group of elite athletes: Major League Baseball players. Deaths from brain and heart diseases also elevated. https://t.co/c9Uk34aL8u via @statnews

The new work found that NFL players were about 2.5 times more likely to die from cardiovascular disease and almost three times more likely than MLB players to die from neurodegenerative disease. @kimberlyarchie @37919KJ https://t.co/DQQc7mq5Js

There is still plenty #medical #science has to learn about make-up and #healthcare of athletes across #sports. New study in @JAMA_current gets us a little closer. #concussion #CTE #playerhealth https://t.co/miQFGSSF8U via @statnews, w/comment from @nyulangone colleague @bachyns

Higher rate of death in @NFL players than @MLB players. Most related to cardiovascular disease. Sobering message but opportunity to be more aggressive in screening and treating this at risk population. https://t.co/1tivt9u9ca
