We examined the relationship between a remote history of concussions with current symptoms of depression in retired professional athletes. Thirty retired National Football League (NFL) athletes with a history of concussion and 29 age- and IQ-matched controls without a history of concussion were recruited. We found a significant correlation between the number of lifetime concussions and depressive symptom severity using the Beck Depression Inventory II. Upon investigating a three-factor model of depressive symptoms (affective, cognitive, and somatic; Buckley et al., 2001) from the BDI-II, the cognitive factor was the only factor that was significantly related to concussions. In general, NFL players endorsed more symptoms of depression on all three Buckley factors compared with matched controls. Findings suggest that the number of self-reported concussions may be related to later depressive symptomology (particularly cognitive symptoms of depression).
我们研究了退役职业运动员脑震荡的远期病史与当前抑郁症状之间的关系。招募了 30 名有脑震荡病史的退役国家橄榄球联盟 (NFL) 运动员和 29 名年龄和智商匹配、无脑震荡病史的对照组。我们发现贝克抑郁量表第二版 (Beck Depression Inventory II) 的使用结果显示,脑震荡次数与抑郁症状严重程度呈显著相关。在对贝克抑郁量表第二版 (BDI-II) 的抑郁症状三因素模型(情感、认知和躯体;Buckley 等人,2001 年)进行调查后,认知因素是唯一与脑震荡显著相关的因素。总的来说,与匹配对照组相比,NFL 运动员在所有三个 Buckley 因素上都表现出更多的抑郁症状。研究结果表明,自我报告的脑震荡次数可能与后期抑郁症状(尤其是抑郁的认知症状)有关。
