Studies
reveal health disparities between sexual and gender minority (SGM) adults
and non-SGMs adults are potential risk factors for cognitive decline and
the future progression of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia. SGM
adults face higher rates of chronic health diseases (cardiovascular
disease, hypertension, diabetes) and depression than non-SGM adults. This
study described the prevalence of subjective cognitive decline among SGM
middle-aged and older adults and determined if differences in prevalence
rates were linked to differences in demographics, chronic health
conditions, functional limitations, physical unhealthy days, and
depression.
