Abstract

We analyzed data from a national, longitudinal registry of 1339 OEF/OIF veterans to examine factors related to TBI risk. Memory problems (AOR=2.170) and balance problems and dizziness (AOR=1.813) predicted future TBI. Results suggest that a history of TBI-related symptoms places veterans at higher risk for future TBIs.
