Equitable aging in health framework: a multi-systems and multilevel approach to health challenges and supports for transgender older adults.
Article in Innovation in aging, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: While research on transgender older adults and health is growing, gaps remain about transgender older adults of color, immigrants, and other groups experiencing multiple forms of marginalization who are shaped by concurring experiences of oppression across the life course. This article aims to address these gaps by examining health challenges and supports among transgender older adults-many of whom are racially minoritized and immigrants-through an Equitable Aging in Health framework. Research Design and Methods: This community-driven study incorporates qualitative data from 37 transgender older adults from a larger study of 23 focus groups with 208 lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual (LGBTQIA+) older adults in California to examine challenges, thriving and surviving strategies, and recommendations regarding health, housing, social services, and caregiving. Data foreground experiences of transgender older adults who are racially underrepresented, immigrants, and have low incomes. Results: Transgender older adults identified challenges related to healthcare access, housing, employment, economics, and violence that often intersected with disability and aging. Transgender older Latina immigrants experienced elevated challenges related to language barriers, immigration status, and discrimination. Supports included community connections, financial and legal assistance, educational workshops, and homesharing programs. Healthcare access, health experiences, and overall well-being were intricately tied to challenges and supports in housing, social services, healthcare systems, and employment that existed at micro, mezzo, and macro levels. Discussion and Implications: The Equitable Aging in Health framework helps illuminate how challenges and supports described by transgender older adults, including immigrants and older adults who are racially minoritized, can shape health-related experiences for transgender older adults. Policies, services, and programs targeting transgender older adults, thus, would benefit from a multi-level, multi-systems approach.
