Using data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) 2017-2022 we estimated adjusted and unadjusted differences in self-reported number of poor mental health days (past month) between gender minority (GM) and cisgender adults. We document that the disparity is largest among younger individuals. Among 18- to 23-year-olds, GM adults report on average 14.5 days of poor mental health, compared to 6.3 days for cisgender individuals, yielding an unadjusted disparity of 8.2 days [95% CI: 7.15, 9.24]. This disparity decreases with age - among people over the age of 73, the observed difference was 1.7 days [95% CI: 0.13, 3.27].
利用行为风险因素监测系统（BRFSS）2017 - 2022年的数据，我们估计了性别少数群体（GM）和顺性别成年人在自我报告的心理健康不佳天数（过去一个月）上的调整后和未调整差异。我们记录到这种差异在年轻人中最大。在18至23岁的人群中，GM成年人平均报告有14.5天心理健康不佳，而顺性别个体为6.3天，未调整的差异为8.2天[95%置信区间：7.15，9.24]。这种差异随着年龄的增长而减小——在73岁以上的人群中，观察到的差异为1.7天[95%置信区间：0.13，3.27]。
