Queer Britons over the age of 50 are often in poorer physical and mental health than their straight peers, new research has found.

The report from the International Longevity Centre suggested that remaining closeted in earlier life may have had an adverse effect on older LGBT+ people.

“For example, some people may have hidden their LGBT identity—from a health perspective, this could have led them to hide aspects of their own health for fear of ‘outing’ themselves,” wrote Brian Beach, the report’s author.

“For others, it could have fostered a reluctance to engage with health services for fear of discriminatory attitudes by health care providers.”

#China decriminalized homosexual acts in 1997 and the Chinese Society of Psychiatrists stopped labeling same-sex attraction an illness in 2001, but China’s sexual minorities still face significant difficulties in their everyday lives according to the survey, published in January.
