This is associated with an increase in the number of older people from the lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, intersex, or asexual (LGBTQIA+) community. This population faces unique challenges, including ageism, sexual identity stigma, and self-stigma. The older LGBTQIA+ population are neglected by, and invisible to, healthcare interventions, research, and policy changes. In light of the paradigm shift in healthcare towards a rights-based approach, healthy aging has become an important construct. Healthy aging, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), is a “continuous process of optimizing opportunities to maintain and improve physical and mental health, autonomy, and quality of life throughout the life course”. This commentary highlights the unique vulnerabilities of the aging LGBTQIA+ population, advocates the inclusion of their voices at all levels of the healthcare system, and discusses the way forward to enable their ‘healthy aging’.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Население мира стремительно стареет. В связи с этим увеличивается число пожилых представителей сообщества ЛГБТКИА+ (лесбиянки, геи, бисексуалы, трансгендеры, квиры, интерсексуалы, асексуалы). Они сталкиваются с уникальными проблемами, в числе которых дискриминация по возрастному признаку, стигматизация сексуальной идентичности и самостигматизация. Общество игнорирует пожилых представителей ЛГБТКИА+, их интересы не учитываются при внедрении и модернизации программ здравоохранения, при проведении исследований. В свете повышения внимания к вопросам защиты прав человека важной концепцией стало здоровое старение. Согласно определению Всемирной организации здравоохранения, здоровое старение — это непрерывный процесс расширения возможностей для поддержания и улучшения физического и психического здоровья, независимости и качества жизни людей на протяжении всей жизни. В этом документе подчеркивается уязвимость пожилых представителей сообщества ЛГБТКИА+, делается акцент на важности учета их мнения на всех уровнях принятия решений в системе здравоохранения и обсуждается дальнейший путь обеспечения здорового старения этой популяции.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>longevity</kwd><kwd>healthy ageing</kwd><kwd>LGBTQIA+</kwd><kwd>sexual minorities</kwd><kwd>human rights</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>долголетие</kwd><kwd>здоровое старение</kwd><kwd>ЛГБТКИА+</kwd><kwd>сексуальные меньшинства</kwd><kwd>права человека</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs Population.
