| More Details: | The invisibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people (LGBT) aging is a reality. These individuals suffer from ageism, from various forms of discrimination, and from the assumption that all are heterosexual and cisgender. They are also at higher risk of living alone, being childless, and having no one to call in an emergency. Few studies have addressed the subject, especially in the Brazilian medical literature. Additionally, geriatricians and gerontologists may encounter challenging situations when caring for LGBT older adults who are healthy, or have dementia, or are even at the end of life. Thus, this review article aimed to investigate the aging process of the LGBT population; to reinforce appropriate terminology; and to discuss the discrimination that they face in health care services, measures for health promotion, and the specific care of the LGBT older person with dementia, at the end of life, or living in a long-term care facility. |
