I'm 49 and had nine concussions, 3 moderate and 6 mild.
Fortunately I was wearing a helmet for all, (but one), of them otherwise I'm might not be writing this comment.
Studies like this are good for considering what might happen if I live a long life. Thanks to the OP for sharing.

Y’all know about all your concussions?
Like none of mine under 20 got diagnosed, but now that I’ve had them while older and I’m like “Jfc i had so many while young that were just ignored”

I still think back to the time my vision briefly went inverted after taking a shot to my helmet in lacrosse. We’ll see how old age treats me, I guess.

My last concussion when I was like 12 took out my vision in my peripherals. I was also having some weird side-effect where when I tried to read words, I knew what I was reading, but when I would say them out loud the wrong ones would come out.
My parents didn't know at the time you're not supposed to nap when you have a concussion, so I napped and then woke up fine.

I've had mine as an adult. 3 from bicycle accidents, 5 snowboarding, and one cleaning the house.
I've noticed it's getting more difficult to remember details about them all as I age.
