Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to investigate the prevalence and factors contributing to cardiovascular disease (CVD) among transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals in the U.S., revealing that nearly 14% reported having CVD.
- The cohort included 1,019 TGD individuals, with similar rates of CVD across different gender transition statuses, and noted common risk factors such as older age, lower income, smoking, and various chronic health conditions.
- The findings highlight the need for further research and effective interventions to improve cardiovascular health and access to medical care for TGD individuals.
