dc.description.abstractA recent editorial in Tobacco Control noted the neglect of older adults in the field of tobacco control, arguing that we must do better.[1] This research letter seeks to answer that call and amplify its message by assessing what is missed in health equity research when older adults are ignored in another area of inequity: differences in smoking by sexual orientation.[2, 3] Older lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) adults often have been rendered invisible in popular culture with detrimental effects.[4] While evidence clearly shows LGB adults overall have higher risk of smoking than their heterosexual counterparts,[2] research and interventions for addressing LGB smoking inequities, with some exceptions,e.g.[5] neglect older adults.[6] This letter examines trends in inequities in smoking between LGB and heterosexual older adults.en_US
