Social, Economic, and Health Disparities Among LGBT Older Adults
Generations
(2016)
Abstract
 LGBT older adults are a heterogeneous population with collective and unique strengths
and challenges. Health, personal, and economic disparities exist in this group when compared to the
general population of older adults, yet subgroups such as transgender and bisexual older adults and
individuals living with HIV are at greater risk for disparities and poorer health outcomes. As this
population grows, further research is needed on factors that contribute to promoting health equity,
while decreasing discrimination and improving competent service delivery. | key words: older adults,
