Reframing Aging and Diabetes: Centering Transgender Health Equity

GSA 2025 Abstract

Abstract

As more transgender (trans) individuals reach older adulthood, it is essential to understand their health risks, including chronic conditions such as diabetes. Research on aging and diabetes has largely excluded trans populations, leaving gaps in knowledge about their unique experiences in healthcare access, diagnosis, and management.
