Health disparities amongst historically marginalized populations has become more commonly understood in modern nutrition practice. With the continued expansion of dietetic education and practice to understand and better tend to the needs of diverse populations, it is important to continue to think from an intersectional lens.

With a robust amount of research on the role race and ethnicity play in disease risk prevalence, we cannot neglect how nutrition and health behaviors are also dictated by gender, sexual orientation, and related stigma. This session will not just discuss chronic disease prevalence and disparities in LGBTQIA+ populations based on available data in the literature, but will aim to connect disparities to concepts such as the social determinants of health, dimensions of wellness, and minority stress theory.

The goal is to understand from a holistic lens how to support these types of clients in managing or preventing disease throughout the lifespan.
