This eye-opening study adds to the scarce scholarly literature on
professional athletes, bringing empirical rigor to issues often
clouded by mystery and hearsay. It identifies socioeconomic,
demographic, and career variables as risk factors for mortality
among former NBA and NFL players, along with hypotheses to be
tested relating to elite athletes and other U.S. populations. A
detailed multivariate analysis compares mortality factors, rates,
and outcomes within and between the two leagues, comparing them
also with the general U.S. male population. The findings and
conclusions gleaned from this research offer possibilities for
future research to improve health and quality of life in this
specific athlete cohort, among athletes in general, in other
groups, and in the larger society. Potential risk factors analyzed
in this groundbreaking study: * Race * Body Mass Index (BMI) * U.S.
birthplace region (Northeast, West, Midwest, South) * Years of
playing experience * Playing position Mortality and Its Risk
Factors among Professional Athletes will spark interest among
professionals and researchers in public health, sports medicine,
and epidemiology; current and former NBA and NFL players, their
families, coaches, trainers, and union representatives;
non-professional basketball and football players, athletes from
other sports, and their families, coaches, and trainers; social
scientists; policymakers; obesity researchers; parents of children
who play contact sports; students, teachers, and researchers in
occupational health and racial disparities; and health care
providers.
