About The Study: In this cohort study of sexual and gender minority (SGM) young adults assigned male at birth, exposure to sexual orientation and gender identity change efforts (SOGICE) was associated with adverse cardiovascular health indicators, including elevated diastolic blood pressure and systolic blood pressure, increased systemic inflammation, and higher odds of self-reported hypertension or high blood pressure. These findings underscore the need for public health and policy interventions to enforce and strengthen bans on SOGICE practices. Recognizing the cardiovascular health consequences of SOGICE contributes to addressing SGM health disparities and emphasizes the importance of affirmative care approaches that prioritize the well-being of SGM individuals.
