CVD Risk among Men Participating in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2001–10: Differences by Sexual Minority Status

摘要

BackgroundRecent research indicates sexual minority women are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared to Heterosexual women; however, few studies of CVD risk exist for sexual minority men (SMM). This study aimed to determine whether disparities in CVD risk exist for SMM and if CVD risk is consistent across subgroups of SMM.
