Concussions remain a serious public health concern, with approximately 1.6 million to 3 million sport and recreational traumatic and brain injuries occurring every year in the United States. Most research on concussions has been conducted on male athletes, specifically, football players. However, female sport participation has steadily increased over the past decade. Recent studies suggest that the incidence of and recovery from sport-related concussion varies between male and female athletes, with women having a higher risk of sustaining a concussion and taking a longer time to recover than men. As a result, this article addresses the role of gender in the assessment and management of sport-related concussion.
脑震荡仍然是一个严重的公共卫生问题，每年在美国，大约有 160 万至 300 万例与运动和娱乐相关的创伤性脑损伤。大多数关于脑震荡的研究都是针对男性运动员，特别是足球运动员进行的。然而，女性参与体育运动的比例在过去十年中稳步上升。最近的研究表明，男性和女性运动员在脑震荡的发生率和恢复方面存在差异，女性脑震荡的风险更高，恢复时间也比男性更长。因此，本文探讨了性别在运动相关脑震荡评估和管理中的作用。
