People identifying many different ways beyond cisgender and heterosexual are diverse with respect to many other characteristics and sociopolitical locations across the globe and may thus experience a wide array of health journeys both individually and as partners in intimate relationships. In this review article, we summarize the major contributions of and ongoing gaps in existing studies about such couples\u2019 experiences of chronic disease management in later life. We focus on three key groups of findings from prior research about the health of older sexually and\/or gender diverse couples: care practices, unmet needs, and diverse resources. We outline priorities for future research within and across these topic areas and in varied locations, with unique recommendations for scholars in both academic and clinical settings. These recommendations support greater integration of such populations, topics, and needs in existing discourse on aging and late life. Likewise, recommendations from this review illuminate potential best practices for engaging and serving these elders in both academic and applied settings.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/2333721418822865","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,15]],"date-time":"2019-01-15T04:47:20Z","timestamp":1547527640000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Illness Management in Older Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Couples: A Review"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"5","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9072-2482","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexandra C.
