Mental and Physical Health Among Danish Transgender Persons Compared With Cisgender Persons
This cohort study of Danish transgender persons and cisgender controls found significantly higher risks for mental and somatic health diagnoses among transgender persons. Coexistence of mental health outcomes and somatic health outcomes among transgender persons could be associated with stress encountered due to belonging to a gender identity or sexual orientation minority group; mental and physical morbidity should be considered an integrated part of transgender care.
