Newsweek - Members of the LGBTQ+ community are more likely to experience dementia, depression and strokes than straight, cisgender people, according to research published in Neurology. The study found that, overall, queer people were 15 percent more likely to develop these negative brain outcomes, than people who identified as heterosexual and with the gender they were assigned at birth. "Our study found that people belonging to sexual and gender minority groups are at increased risk of adverse brain health outcomes, including dementia and late-life depression compared to cisgender straight people," first author Shufan Huo of Yale School of Medicine told Newsweek. "These differences persisted across several subgroups: sexual minority persons assigned male at birth and transgender women are particularly vulnerable for late-life depression."
