A new study suggests that sports and sporting equipment are increasing traumatic brain injuries in children.
With an average of 308,000 annual cases, traumatic brain accidents have become much more prevalent in children ages zero to four and 15 to 19 — impacting nearly 6.2 million children in the last 20 years. Typically these school-aged children played on a playground and participated in sports that involved equipment like bicycles, footballs, soccer balls and basketballs.
Researchers believe that more widespread awareness, public health policies and media attention, resulting in risk awareness in contact sports and increased incident reporting, influenced the data. CP-TBI incidents were previously more prevalent in boys. However, after the peak in 2012, there was a significantly higher percentage of girls with CP-TBI injuries — especially at the high school age.
