<p><strong>Data from more than 410,000 <em>All of Us</em> participants is now available for research.</strong> Researchers can use this data, including medical records and survey responses, to study health and disease in historically understudied groups. For example, <strong><em>All of Us</em> participants have shared details about their gender identity and sexual orientation.</strong> Researchers can use this information to learn more about the health of LGBTQIA+ adults.</p>
<p>A new study looked at<em> All of Us </em>data to learn how 12 health conditions affect LGBTQIA+ adults.</p>
<p><strong>Anxiety, depression, HIV diagnosis, and tobacco use disorder were more common in LGBTQIA+ participants than in non-LGBTQIA+ participants.</strong></p>
<p>Rates of asthma, being overweight, cancer, and substance use disorder varied among the LGBTQIA+ groups. In some LGBTQIA+ groups, these conditions were more common than in non-LGBTQIA+ participants; in others, they were less common.</p>
<p><strong>Diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and kidney disease were less common in LGBTQIA+ participants than in non-LGBTQIA+ participants.</strong></p>
<p>The results were published in <em><a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2807788">JAMA Network Open</a></em>.</p>
<h2>All of Us Includes Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation</h2>
<p>When studying health conditions, researchers do not always ask participants to report their gender identity, sex assigned at birth, and sexual orientation. That is one reason why <strong>there are gaps in what we know about the health of LGBTQIA+ people.</strong></p>
<p>This new study suggests that researchers can use <em>All of Us </em>data to learn more about the health of LGBTQIA+ people and the health inequities they face.</p>
<p>The study included data from about 30,000 LGBTQIA+ <em>All of Us </em>participants and about 316,000 non-LGBTQIA+ participants.</p>
<p>The LGBTQIA+ groups included participants who self-identified in<em> All of Us </em>surveys as any of the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Asexual</li>
<li>Bisexual</li>
<li>Gay</li>
<li>Lesbian</li>
<li>Nonbinary</li>
<li>Queer</li>

<p>(The current survey questions do not clearly identify intersex participants, so there were not enough intersex participants to include in this analysis.)</p>
<p>Researchers then analyzed the LGBTQIA+ and non-LGBTQIA+ groups electronic health record data and height and weight data to see how 12 common health conditions affected these groups.</p>
<h2>Paving the Way for Future LGBTQIA+ Research</h2>
<p><strong>This study paves the way for future research about LGBTQIA+ health.</strong> The study did not look for the reasons why LGBTQIA+ groups face health inequities. Reasons could include experiences with discrimination, lack of access to health care, and other social factors.</p>
<p>New studies can use <em>All of Us</em> data to pinpoint why there are health differences between non-LGBTQIA+ and LGBTQIA+ people. The data can also help researchers look more closely at the different experiences among LGBTQIA+ groups, since health patterns can differ by group.</p>
<p><strong><em>All of Us</em> data can help researchers find answers about the health of LGBTQIA+ people.</strong> This is possible because of the size and diversity of the programs participant population and the variety of data participants share. As more studies on LGBTQIA+ health become available, health care providers can improve personalized care for their LGBTQIA+ patients.</p>
