目的：本研究探讨了年龄较大是否会调节跨性别者性别肯定医疗与生活质量 (QOL) 之间的关联。方法：纳入来自全国跨性别歧视调查的跨性别男性和女性，他们最近或从未接受过医疗治疗（n = 2420）。采用调节分析。结果：正如预测的那样，开始接受治疗的参与者的生活质量高于未开始接受治疗的参与者。年龄调节了这种关联。老年人的生活质量差异比年轻的跨性别者更大。结论：在所有跨性别男性和女性中，性别肯定医疗对老年人尤其有益。
Purpose: This study examined whether older age moderates the association between gender-affirming medical treatment and quality of life (QOL) among transgender individuals. Methods: Transgender men and women from the National Transgender Discrimination Survey who had either recently or never undergone medical treatment were included (n = 2420). A moderation analysis was utilized. Results: As predicted, participants who initiated medical treatment had higher QOL than those who did not. Age moderated this association. The QOL difference was greater for older than for younger transgender individuals. Conclusion: Among all transgender men and women, gender-affirming medical treatment can be especially beneficial for elders.
