Overview

Analysis reveals higher diagnostic prevalences of medical and mental health conditions in transgender individuals, indicating significant health disparities.

Key Points

  • The transgender cohort displayed higher prevalence rates of medical, mental health, and neurodevelopmental conditions compared to matched controls.
  • Medical diagnoses like sleep disorders and chronic pain were more common in the transgender group, highlighting health challenges.
  • Modified Poisson regression models were utilized to evaluate prevalence ratios based on population-level health records from Utah.
  • Findings suggest discrimination and barriers in healthcare access contribute to the observed health disparities in transgender individuals.
