You would think that the scientists and charities would be all over this. Much more of a link than heading a football I would suggest. I’ve had another look and the top 10 per head of population is:

Finland
USA
Canada
Iceland
Sweden
Switzerland
Norway
Denmark
Netherlands
Belgium

Apart from Switzerland as an outlier the rest are all geographically clustered and have large coastal boundaries.
Perhaps they have been, and have decided there is no significance.

One thing that jumped out at me from one of the sources I looked at (https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/countries-with-the-highest-rates-of-deaths-from-dementia.html) is that deaths from dementia are being compared. The differences may be due to what is recorded on the death certificate.

Anyway, in respect of heading the ball, I think that if there is a proven increase in risk, it makes sense to pull back from kids heading the ball.
