Lives in transition: Assessing transgender quality of life

This study evaluates the quality of life among transgender individuals by categorizing them into two age groups: younger individuals (18–25 years) and older individuals (26–50 years). The findings highlight critical challenges faced by transgender individuals, such as physical health barriers, psychological health struggles, social exclusion, and environmental challenges. A detailed analysis reveals that 13.3% of respondents rated their quality of life as good, 56.6% as average, and 30% as poor. These findings emphasize the need for targeted interventions in healthcare access, mental health support, social acceptance, and community safety to enhance the quality of life for transgender individuals.

Abstract

This study evaluates the quality of life among transgender individuals by categorizing them into two age groups: younger individuals (18–25 years) and older individuals (26–50 years). The findings highlight critical challenges faced by transgender individuals, such as physical health barriers, psychological health struggles, social exclusion, and environmental challenges. A detailed analysis reveals that 13.3% of respondents rated their quality of life as good, 56.6% as average, and 30% as poor. These findings emphasize the need for targeted interventions in healthcare access, mental health support, social acceptance, and community safety to enhance the quality of life for transgender individuals.
