    Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) significantly increase the risk of developing somatic comorbidities like metabolic disorders and cardiovascular disease.

  • 2

    Previous research on TBIs has primarily focused on psychiatric disorders, neglecting the long-term somatic health impacts on survivors.

  • 3

    This study utilized a nationwide cohort over 25 years to analyze the burden of somatic health in TBI survivors compared to age-matched controls.

  • 4

    TBI severity was categorized based on length of hospital stay, allowing for a nuanced analysis of comorbidity risk among different severity groups.

  • 5

    Understanding the accumulation of somatic comorbidities is essential for improving long-term rehabilitation and societal reintegration of TBI survivors.
