• Males are about 1.5 times as likely as females to sustain a TBI. • The two age groups at highest risk for TBI are 0 to 4 year olds and 15 to 19 year olds. • Certain military duties (e.g., paratrooper) increase the risk of sustaining a TBI. • African Americans have the highest death rate from TBI. • Information from the Brain Injury Association of the US’ web page, http://www.biausa.org • Note: Alcohol and drug misuse are disproportionately high in people with TBI, so driving while intoxicated is a risk factor.
