Re: Sport associated dementia

Dear Editor

Sports, Games and Dementia

Contact sports such as football,soccer,basketball,field hockey,ice hockey, lacrosse, wrestling, cheerleading, and rugby may produce concussion injuries to brain and can leads to dementia.

This may be due to minor to major single or repeated injuries to the strategic areas of the brain which are important for the recognition, registration and retrieval process in the memory circuit.

On the other hand , playing of any challenging healthy games and non head contact sports can also retard the early development of dementia.
