Prior head injury in older adults was associated with greater MBI domain symptoms, specifically affective dysregulation and impulse dyscontrol. Our results suggest that the construct of MBI can be used to systematically examine the noncognitive neuropsychiatric sequelae of head injury; further studies are needed to examine whether the systematic identification and rapid treatment of neuropsychiatric symptoms after head injury is associated with improved outcomes.
