AB  - Key  Clinical  Updates  in  Health  Care  for  Lesbian  &  Bisexual  WomenData  from  the  National  Health  and  Nutrition  Examination  Survey  showed  that  sexual  minority  women,  compared  with  their  heterosexual  counterparts,  had  increased  modifiable  cardiovascular  disease  risk  factors  of  mental  distress,  current  tobacco  use,  binge  drinking,  increased  likelihood  of  obesity,  and  glycosylated  hemoglobin  consistent  with  prediabetes.Data  from  the  Chicago  Health  and  Life  Experiences  of  Women  study  found  cardiometabolic  risk  factors  (hypertension,  diabetes,  and  obesity)  varied  by  sexual  orientation  and  race/ethnicity,  calling  for  intersectional  assessments  and  interventions  that  account  for  sexual  orientation,  race,  and  ethnicity.A  population-based  study  from  the  United  Kingdom  found  higher  rates  of  cancer  among  gay  and  bisexual  men  but  no  difference  in  cancer  diagnoses  between  lesbian  and  bisexual  women  and  their  heterosexual  counterparts  except  for  a  higher  rate  of  oropharyngeal  cancer.A  2019  study  concluded  that  sexual  orientation  clearly  plays  a  role  in  sexual  victimization  risk  when  they  found  that  compared  with  heterosexual  women,  bisexual  women  had  3.7  times  the  odds  of  initial  victimization  and  7.3  times  the  odds  of  repeat  victimization,  and  lesbian  women  had  3.2  times  the  odds  of  repeat  victimization  even  after  controlling  for  other  sociodemographic  factors.
