The younger ones on that study (as you say, our age) aren't getting dementia. The outcome of the study was that the footballer arm of the study, while seeing more dementia, wasn't getting dementia earlier than the control arm

It still looks more likely to be dodgy correlations to footballers living longer to me

And you get no argument on the concussions thing.

I guess the one knock-on of banning heading is fewer head/elbow clashes and concussions, as that could very easily be argued to be an actual root cause

yeah, wasn't trying to argue, per se, was just trying to get to the root data and have a play & have a think. Certainly agree with the second post.
