ImpactModerate impact

Abstract in brief

The study found that heterosexual individuals in the U.S. who held higher levels of antigay prejudice had a significantly increased risk of death, which could lead to a roughly 2.5-year difference in overall life expectancy compared to those with lower prejudice.
This association remained even after accounting for other factors like age, socioeconomic status, and health, and was especially linked to deaths caused by cardiovascular issues.
These findings suggest that reducing antigay prejudice could not only promote social acceptance but also improve health outcomes for both minority and majority groups.]
