Brain Injury Insider Episode 135: Research Reports That TBIs May Speed Up The Aging Process in Post 9/11 Veterans

Today I want to share some fascinating—and concerning new research. 

The research reports that traumatic brain injuries may speed up the aging process in post-9/11 veterans. 

Researchers looked at blood samples from over a thousand veterans, most in their 30s.

The study published in the Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation found that veterans with a history of TBI in all degrees of severity showed signs of aging faster at the biological level. 

In other words, their bodies were acting older than their actual age.
