Considerable time and attention is paid to the identification, rehabilitation, and outcomes in traumatic brain injuries in children and athletes. TBI in older adults, however, receives far less focus despite the fact that individuals over 65 comprise 17% of the United States’ population. Like youth, older adults are a particularly vulnerable group and at increased risk for challenging outcomes following TBI. This talk will review the scientific literature concerning TBI in older adults, covering epidemiology, risk factors, and outcomes. We will also discuss TBI in the context of aging, dementia, and chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
