Health Inequalities by Sexual Orientation: Results from the 2016-2017 Barcelona Health Survey

The aim of this study was to assess health inequalities by sexual attraction in the 2016-2017 Barcelona population, stratifying by sex. Data came from the 2016-2017 Barcelona Health Survey, where 3362 adults answered among other instruments the EuroQol-5 dimensions-5 levels (EQ-5D-5L), which measure...

description The aim of this study was to assess health inequalities by sexual attraction in the 2016-2017 Barcelona population, stratifying by sex. Data came from the 2016-2017 Barcelona Health Survey, where 3362 adults answered among other instruments the EuroQol-5 dimensions-5 levels (EQ-5D-5L), which measures five dimensions and summarizes health-related quality of life into a single utility index score. To assess health differences by sexual attraction, we constructed Tobit models for the EQ-5D index score and Poisson regression models for the EQ-5D dimensions. Nested models were constructed to examine the mediating role of discrimination and health-related variables. After adjusting for sociodemographic variables, women feeling attraction to more than one sex showed a lower EQ-5D index score (worse health) than those with only other sex attraction (-0.042,  = 0.012), and higher prevalence of problems with mobility, usual activities, and anxiety/depression with the following adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) and confidence intervals (CIs): 1.79 (95% CI 1.05-3.05), 1.84 (95% CI 1.05-3.21), and 1.76 (95% CI 1.27-2.43). Women feeling attraction only to their same sex also presented higher prevalence of anxiety/depression (aPR = 1.46, CI 95% 1.10-1.92). In contrast, differences were not observed for men. Women, but not men, feeling attraction to more than one sex and only same-sex attraction in Barcelona in 2016-2017 presented worse health than those feeling only other sex attraction, with discrimination playing a mediating role in explaining such inequalities. These results among women indicate the need to develop public health strategies in Barcelona addressed to lesbian and bisexual women, considering the intersection of gender and sexual orientation.
