About the SCORES Project
The SCORES project is an independent research study designed
to better understand the cognitive health of athletes as they age. The current
focus of the project is former professional footballers. We know they are at
greater risk of neurodegeneration, but we need to better understand this risk.
The SCORES study will investigate the rate of cognitive decline in former
professional footballers compared with the average healthy person.
