Who is most at risk for sustaining a brain injury?
Anyone can incur a brain injury. However, statistics show that males are two times more likely than females to sustain a brain injury. The highest rates of brain injury typically occur in males ages 15-24. Young children and individuals over 75 years of age are also more susceptible to head injury due to falls. Individuals who have already sustained a brain injury are also at an increased risk of sustaining another brain injury.
