[Health & Sexuality Info](/health-info)# Aging with Pride: National Health, Aging, and Sexuality/Gender Study

Aging with Pride offers reports, presentations, fact sheets, and other resources from the University of Washington’s National Health, Aging, and Sexuality/Gender Study (NHAS).

> Our landmark study Aging with Pride: National Health, Aging, and Sexuality/Gender Study is the first federally funded longitudinal national project designed to better understand the aging, health, and well-being of LGBTQ+ midlife and older adults and their families. Over 2,000 LGBTQ+ midlife and older adults across the U.S. have been participating in this study since 2010.
