Raising the equality flag: health inequalities among older LGBT people in the UK This report highlights new findings from a recent project conducted by researchers at University College London, Cardiff University, and International Longevity Centre UK, funded by the Wellcome Trust, to explore the discrepancies in health outcomes experienced by older LGBT people. The research reveals that a lifetime of prejudice and stigma is leading to worse physical and mental health, poorer access to health and social care, as well as greater levels of social isolation and loneliness among older LGBT people.
