Study to probe whether former footballers more likely to suffer dementia than general public

A Glasgow-based research team will investigate whether former footballers are more likely to suffer from dementia later in life than the general public.

The new study, which is titled "Football’s Influence on Lifelong Health and Dementia Risk" (FIELD) will start in January and will be led Dr William Stewart and colleagues at the University of Glasgow and the Hampden Sports Clinic.
