No significant association was found between subjective cognition and objective measures of cognitive functioning among former collegiate football players. However, a greater self-reported concussion history was inversely associated with subjective cognition. Distress was significantly related to all subjective cognition metrics as well as performance on delayed recall and verbal fluency. Sleep quality was only significantly related to timed visuospatial sequencing.
Objective Studies have observed variable associations of prior contact sport participation with subjective and objective measures of cognitive function. This study directly investigated the association between subjective self-report and objective performance-based cognition among former collegiate football players, as well as its relationship to self-reported concussion history. Methods Former collegiate football players (N = 57; mean age = 37.9 years [SD = 1.49]) retired from sport 15-years prior were enrolled. Linear regression models examined associations between subjective cognition (Quality of Life in Neurological Disorders Cognitive Functioning-Short Form), and performance on a neuropsychological battery. Domain specific (executive function) metrics of subjective (Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Adult) and objective cognition were also exclusively examined. Associations between self-reported concussion history with subjective and objective measures were tested. Potential influential factors (sleep quality and distress) were included as covariates. Results Subjective cognition was not significantly associated with any objective measures of cognitive functioning (p's > .05). Greater self-reported concussion history was inversely associated with subjective cognition (B = -2.49, p = .004), but not objective performance-based cognition (p's > .05). Distress was significantly related to all metrics of subjective cognition (p's < .001) as well as performance on delayed recall and verbal fluency (p's < .05). Sleep quality was only significantly related to timed visuospatial sequencing (p = .033). Conclusions Reliance on self-reported measures of cognitive functioning alone is insufficient when assessing cognition in former contact sport athletes. Assessment of other factors known to influence subjective cognitive complaints should also be examined in determining the presence of cognitive deficits.
