Abstract Nearly 3.5 million sexual and gender minority (SGM) adults aged 60+ in the U.S. identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and/or queer. We recruited over 50 diverse SGM older adults from the community to better understand correlates of their cognitive function. The Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status, an 11-item screening test of global cognition was used over the phone or in-person. We will describe relationships among cognition and several sociodemographic and health variables (age, sex assigned at birth, SGM identities, race/ethnicity, and health). Past research has highlighted higher rates of perceived memory problems among lesbian, bisexual and transgender adults compared to both gay men and heterosexual men and women. These rates were also higher among those who identify as women. We highlight implications for researching gender identity and cognition in late life, such as the influence of gender roles on cognition and the assessment of gender expression and related constructs.

This chapter reviews existing literature on mental health issues among sexual and gender minority older adults. Current LGBTQ older adults lived their formative years prior to the gay liberation movement of the 1970s; a lifetime of discrimination and concealment affects their mental health today. While early studies of sexual and gender minority older adults were largely based on small, relatively restricted samples, two recent national studies out of the University of Washington have improved on sample diversity and generalizability of results. Findings from these larger studies and several others are reviewed, highlighting what is known about positive and negative mental health conditions among LGBTQ older adults and related practice implications. The chapter concludes with a look at ongoing gaps in knowledge about mental health issues confronting sexual and gender minority older adults and best practices for serving them.
