The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs
Monday, September 27, 2021
Dear John,
Join Health Affairs! We recently posted a s
taff accountant position
.
Morbidity Among Transgender People
Recent reports suggest that about six-tenths of a percent of the US
population, or 1.4 million people, identify as transgender. Transgender
individuals are people whose personal and gender identity are different
from the gender they were thought to be at birth.
Good information about the health status of this group has been hard to
come by, although research is growing.
In a recent Health Affairs article, Landon Hughes and coauthors used
private insurance claims from 2001 to 2019 to document the morbidity of
privately insured, transgender individuals
as compared to cisgender people, or those whose personal identity and
gender corresponds with their birth sex.
The authors reported that transgender people are at a greater risk for
morbidity than their cisgender counterparts and are also at
significantly higher risk for several chronic cardiovascular and
neurological conditions.
Hughes broke down this research further on a recent episode of A Health
Podyssey
.
Today on Health Affairs Blog, Maninder Kahlon and Raj Patel explain how
the food industry
is a substantial driver of poor health.
Elevating Voices: Hispanic Heritage Month: In an overview paper
for the Borders, Immigrants & Health theme issue, LucÃa Félix
Beltrán, Alexander Ortega, and coauthors discussed health policy
challenges posed by shifting demographics and health trends among
immigrants to the United States.
