Enhancing Health, Wealth, and Community for older LGBT adults
 April 2019 | The Journal of Active Aging, article by Marilynn Larkin, MA
About 2.4 million adults 65 and older
currently identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual
or transgender (LGBT)1 in the
United States, and that population is
expected to grow significantly in coming
years, along with the entire older-adult
population. Other nations will likewise
see increased numbers of older LGBT
adults as the Boomers age. While these
individuals face the same issues as many
others who are aging—social isolation,
loneliness, housing affordability, and
ageism—research shows they have additional
concerns that can take a toll on
health and wellness.
This article explores latest research and programs that support LGBT older people. |
