Résumé

In the United States, it is estimated that 0.3% of Americans aged 65 and older, or almost 172,000 individuals, identify as transgender. Aging comes with a unique set of challenges and experiences for this population, including health care disparities, mental health concerns, and social isolation. It is crucial for clinicians to use a patient-centered and trauma-informed care approach to address their specific needs and provide evidence-based quality health care, including preventive screenings, mental health support, and advocating for legal protections.
