Beyond the Binary: Exploring the State of Transgender and Gender-diverse Nutrition Research (NUTRITION 2024 On Demand Collection)
This course is included in the NUTRITION 2024 On Demand Collection.
The growing transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) community has been historically underrepresented in nutrition science despite growing evidence of nutrition-related disparities (e.g. eating disorders, food insecurity, excess adiposity). Further, there are nutrition implications associated with the trans experiences (e.g. fat redistribution with hormone replacement therapy, use of food and supplements to facilitate gender affirmation). Understanding the behaviors and priorities of the TGD community is paramount to developing inclusive nutrition care practices, interventions, and policies.
Originally presented at NUTRITION 2024, ASN's flagship meeting which was held June 29 to July 2 in Chicago, IL.
