Abstract

Objective: To describe how transgenderism is studied in research on the health of older adults.

Methods: This was a systematic literature review, with searches conducted in September 2022 across the LILACS, MEDLINE/ PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Scopus databases. The articles were selected independently by two reviewers. The risk of bias was assessed using the JBI Critical Appraisal Tools and data synthesis followed the Entreq and Swim protocols.

Results: A total of 15 studies were included, eight qualitative and seven quantitative, from 2014 to 2023. Most of them specifically analyzed the transgender population. The qualitative studies focused on individuals' perceptions and experiences, health care planning and support networks. The quantitative studies addressed gender characterization, health status (including mental health), and associations with social determinants.

Conclusion: Despite the different approaches, the studies addressed the subject in the context of accumulated stigmas and discrimination faced this population.

老年人健康研究中的跨性别主义：系统综述。

目的：描述在老年人健康研究中如何研究跨性别主义。方法：这是一项系统文献综述，于2022年9月在LILACS、MEDLINE/ PubMed、Embase、Web of Science和Scopus数据库中进行检索。文章由两位审稿人独立选择。使用JBI关键评估工具评估偏倚风险，并按照Entreq和Swim协议进行数据合成。结果：2014 - 2023年共纳入15项研究，定性研究8项，定量研究7项。其中大多数专门分析了跨性别人群。定性研究侧重于个人的看法和经验、保健规划和支助网络。定量研究涉及性别特征、健康状况（包括心理健康）以及与社会决定因素的关系。结论：尽管采用了不同的方法，但这些研究都是在这个群体面临的累积耻辱和歧视的背景下解决这个问题的。
