In the past years, the predominant theme of research was HIV\/AIDS and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). This study aimed to explore the most recent patterns in medical research concerning LGBT+ persons. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title><jats:p> A bibliometric analysis using Biblioshiny was conducted. Based on previous studies, years of observation ranged between 2008 and 2021. Web of Science Core Collection was used. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p> A total of 31,039 articles were selected. Top journals centered around HIV\/AIDS and STIs ( n\u2009=\u20096), followed by sexual behaviors\/sexuality ( n\u2009=\u20092) and LGBT+ health ( n\u2009=\u20092). The US led in research output ( n\u2009=\u200916,249). Papers were categorized into three main clusters (which showed different evolution across time): one addressing HIV\/AIDS, STIs, and sexual behaviors, another focusing on mental health, discrimination, and stigma, and a third, smaller cluster examining transgender, intersex, and gender-diverse health. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title><jats:p> This article highlighted a growth in LGBT+ health research, uncovering research disparities among countries. While HIV\/AIDS and STIs still dominated, a crucial theme concerning mental health, discrimination, and stigma has been rising. Declining interest in gender-diverse health, and disparities in research attention to different LGBT+ subgroups, underscored the need for more comprehensive and inclusive research to address complex health disparities. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/17579139241247758","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,17]],"date-time":"2024-05-17T12:49:33Z","timestamp":1715950173000},"page":"174-181","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Mapping research on LGBT+ persons\u2019 health: a bibliometric analysis"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"144","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9472-3263","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"G","family":"Lo Moro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health and Paediatric Sciences, University of Turin, Turin, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"V","family":"Brescia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Management, University of Turin, Turin, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G","family":"Scaioli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health and Paediatric Sciences, University of Turin, Via Santena 5 bis, 10126 Turin, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A","family":"De Angelis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health and Paediatric Sciences, University of Turin, Turin, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R","family":"Siliquini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health and Paediatric Sciences, University of Turin, Turin, Italy"},{"name":"AOU City of Health and Science of Turin, Turin, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"F","family":"Bert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health and Paediatric Sciences, University of Turin, Turin, Italy"},{"name":"Health Local Unit ASL TO3, Turin, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-17579139241247758","unstructured":"World Health Organization.
