This issue is even more pronounced among lesbian and bisexual (LB) women. Studies suggest this population may be twice as likely to be overweight or obese as heterosexual women. Despite this public health issue, little has been done to reduce overweight and obesity in LB women.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>During the design of healthy-weight interventions aimed at reducing overweight and obesity in older LB women through increased physical activity and improved nutrition, we conducted a systematic review of health interventions targeting older LB women to identify and describe core characteristics present in such interventions. We identified 878 articles and studies as potentially relevant to our review and evaluated them for inclusion in our analysis. We analyzed five interventions, including two on smoking cessation and one each on physical activity, breast cancer screening, and alcohol abuse.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Results indicate that, regardless of desired health outcome, typical intervention characteristics included: social support, education, goal setting, peer-based facilitation, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT)\u2013friendly intervention environments.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The lack of health interventions in this population is disconcerting.
