Bisexual people ‘experience worse health outcomes than other adults’
Bisexual people experience worse health outcomes than other adults in England, a study has found.
Data from lesbian, gay or bisexual (LGB) patients indicates these groups have poorer health outcomes compared to those who identify as heterosexual.
The new findings indicate that bisexual people face additional health disparities within an already marginalised community.
Experts from the Brighton and Sussex Medical School, and Anglia Ruskin University who led the analysis of more than 835,000 adults in England, suggest the differences could result from unique prejudice and discrimination that can come from both mainstream society and LGBTQ+ communities.
