Despite accumulating evidence of health disparities, there exists limited translational research to enhance optimal health and aging of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer-identified (LGBTQ) older adults. Based on the Health Equity Promotion Model that addresses the distinct needs and strengths of LGBTQ older adults, we underscore the important role of collaborations among researchers, practitioners, and communities to build community capacity. Given the rapidly shifting context, we advance principles to guide future work that will enhance translational research and the development of evidence-based practice so that LGBTQ older adults can reach their full health potential.
尽管积累了大量健康差异的证据，但在增强同性恋、双性恋、跨性别、变性和 queer-identified（LGBTQ）老年人的最佳健康和衰老方面，转化研究仍然有限。基于解决 LGBTQ 老年人独特需求和优势的健康公平促进模型，我们强调了研究人员、从业者和社区之间合作的重要性，以建立社区能力。鉴于快速变化的背景，我们提出了原则来指导未来的工作，以增强转化研究和循证实践的发展，使 LGBTQ 老年人能够充分发挥他们的健康潜力。
