Neurodegenerative causes of death among retired National Football League Players
Neurol 79:1970-1974, Lehman, E.,et al, 2012
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The neurodegenerative mortality of this cohort is 3 times higher than that of the general US population; that for 2 of the major neurodegenerative subcategories, AD and ALS, is 4 times higher. These results are consistent with recent studies that suggest an increased risk of neurodegenerative disease among football players.
