Who is Affected Most by TBI?
TBI is very common in the U.S., with an estimated 2.5 million cases in 2010, according to the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention. All these incidents resulted in more than 50,000 deaths, and numerous people forced to live out their life dealing with the effects and costs of brain damage.
While everyone with a brain is susceptible to TBI, the CDC says that the oldest and youngest people in the population are the most susceptible. Those most at risk though, are men over the age of 65. The leading cause of TBI among older men was falls, the same leading cause among all TBI cases. Motor vehicle accidents, struck by incidents, and assaults rounded out the other leading causes of TBI, according to the CDC.
For children, there was another significant cause of TBI. In 2009, the CDC reported 248, 418 incidents among children under the age of 19 that required an emergency room visit for TBI caused by sports. Specifically, bicycling, football, playground activities, basketball, and soccer contributed most to the total, according to the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.
Effects & Symptoms of TBI
Even though TBI can have serious and lasting effects, symptoms don’t always manifest immediately after an accident. Some of the physical and psychological symptoms the CDC recommends people who sustain a blow to the head be on the lookout for after an incident include:
- Difficulty thinking clearly and concentrating;
- Feeling slowed down;
- Headaches;
- Blurry vision;
- Nausea or vomiting;
- Dizziness;
- Balance problems;
- Increased irritability and/or sadness;
- Increased anxiety;
- Trouble sleeping; or
- Sleeping too much.
If you develop any of these symptoms immediately after sustaining a blow to the head, or in the days, weeks, and months to follow, you should see a doctor as soon as possible.
