Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Despite robust research endeavors exploring post-play health implications in former NFL players, the impact of former-player status on long-term cardiovascular health has not yet been elucidated. The purpose of this systematic review is to describe the available research on the cardiovascular health in former NFL players.
UNASSIGNED: Relevant studies were included from the PubMed, Scopus, and Embase databases. Studies were evaluated in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Two independent reviewers conducted the title/abstract screenings and risk of bias determinations. The results of the studies were extracted for inclusion in the review.
UNASSIGNED: Sixteen studies met inclusion criteria. Though evidence was discordant among studies, former NFL players appeared to possess more favorable metabolic profiles and decreased mortality compared to community controls. Of note, 90% of former players were found to be overweight or obese.
UNASSIGNED: Though cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among former NFL players, they possess comparable metabolic and cardiovascular profiles to community controls. Further research is necessary to ascertain the impact of NFL play on cardiovascular health and develop tailored preventative care strategies for former players.

摘要：
■尽管进行了大量研究，探索了前NFL球员的赛后健康影响，前参与者状态对长期心血管健康的影响尚未阐明.本系统综述的目的是描述有关前NFL球员心血管健康的现有研究。
■相关研究来自PubMed，Scopus,和Embase数据库。根据PRISMA指南评估研究。两名独立审稿人进行了标题/摘要筛选和偏见风险确定。提取研究结果以纳入综述。
■16项研究符合纳入标准。尽管研究中的证据不一致，与社区对照组相比,前NFL球员似乎拥有更有利的代谢特征和降低的死亡率.值得注意的是，90％的前球员被发现超重或肥胖。
■尽管心血管疾病是前NFL球员死亡的主要原因，它们具有与社区对照相当的代谢和心血管概况。有必要进行进一步的研究，以确定NFL比赛对心血管健康的影响，并为前球员制定量身定制的预防性护理策略。
