Social Support, Loneliness and Inflammation in LGB+ Subgroups: Health Disparities in a Partnered U.S. Cohort

Partnered plurisexual individuals face disproportionate loneliness, lower social support, and greater inflammation-suggesting that partnered status alone does not ensure health equity. These findings underscore the need to better understand and address the unique social and biological vulnerabilities of plurisexual people. BMI may partially explain plurisexuals' higher inflammation, but further longitudinal research is warranted.
