However, despite well-documented disparities in CKD risk factors in LGBT+ adults, limited literature addresses CKD prevalence in this population. This analysis uses Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (2014\u20132019) data to compare self-reported kidney disease prevalence in LGBT+ older adults (older than 50 years) with their heterosexual peers. Our findings indicate that LGBT+ older adults have higher rates of self-reported kidney disease and a higher incidence of CKD risks including smoking, activity limitations, adverse health outcomes, and limited access to health care, housing, and employment. These results support increasing access to screening for CKD risk factors, providing culturally responsive health care, and addressing societal drivers of vulnerability in older LGBT+ adults.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Background<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Existing research documents disparities in CKD by age, race and ethnicity, and access to health care.

For example, both LGBT+ men (odds ratio [OR]=1.39; [95% CI], 1.26\u20131.54) and LGBT+ women (OR=1.39; [95% CI], 1.25\u20131.55) were more likely to be smokers and have a higher incidence of activity limitations, adverse health outcomes, and limited access to health care, housing, and employment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These results support increasing access to screenings for CKD risk factors, providing preventative education and culturally responsive and affirming care, and addressing other societal drivers of vulnerability in older LGBT+ adults.
