Study Shows Women Have More Baseline Concussion Symptoms

New research on concussions shows they seem to affect men and women about the same — but in the study, women had more symptoms in baseline testing, before suffering a concussion.

To explain what that means, we turn to Dr. Javier Cardenas, director of the Barrow Concussion and Brain Injury Center at Barrow Neurological Institute and Director of the Barrow Concussion Network.

Mark Brodie is a co-host of The Show, KJZZ’s locally produced news magazine. Since starting at KJZZ in 2002, Brodie has been a host, reporter and producer, including several years covering the Arizona Legislature, based at the Capitol.
