摘要
The socioeconomic profile of older adults is crucial to shaping their likelihood of living a long life relatively free from disease and impairment. Compared to heterosexual and gay or lesbian older adults, bisexual elders have the lowest rates of completed schooling and live in lower-income households, which strongly contributes to their poorer health reports. Older gay men and lesbians have a more positive socioeconomic profile, including higher levels of completed schooling than heterosexual older adults-however, their annual household income is more similar to heterosexuals, especially for older gay men.
