around» the problem of chronic under - reporting of concussions that continues to plague the sport and remains a major impediment, in my view, to keeping kids safe (the reasons: if an athlete is allowed to keep playing with a concussion, studies show that their recovery is likely to take longer, and they are at increased risk of long - term problems (e.g. early dementia, depression, more rapid aging of the
brain, and in rare cases, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, and in extremely rare instances, catastrophic injury or death.)

brain biology, and cognitive function are complex and likely multidirectional; for instance, a number of recent population -
based studies have shown genetic links with level of educational attainment, 22,23 and with the risk for cognitive decline in later life.24 Higher levels of educational attainment are also associated with health behaviors (eg, physical activity, diet, and smoking), more cognitively - complex occupations, and better access to health care, all of which may play a role in decreasing lifetime dementia risk.
