Observational Study of the Association between Participation in High School Football and Self-Rated Health, Obesity, and Pain in Adulthood.

In conclusion, our findings suggest that playing football in high school was not significantly associated with poor or fair self-related health at the age of 65 but was associated with the risk of being obese as an adult compared to not playing football in high school. Our findings provide needed information about the risk of playing football to broader set of health outcomes. PMID: 31781744 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
