\"\"Los homosexuales que demuestran p\u00fablicamente su orientaci\u00f3n sexual est\u00e1n mucho menos estresados, dijeron investigadores del Centro de Estudios sobre el Estr\u00e9s Humano (CESH), instituto afiliado a la Universidad de Montreal. <\/p>\n

El estudio, publicado en la revista Psychosomatic Medicine, destaca \u00abel papel positivo de la autoaceptaci\u00f3n y de la comunicaci\u00f3n sobre la salud y el bienestar de las minor\u00edas sexuales\u00bb, dijo uno de los investigadores, el doctor Nathan Smith Grant. <\/p>\n

El equipo del hospital Louis-H. Lafontaine evalu\u00f3 el nivel de cortisol, la hormona del estr\u00e9s, y una veintena m\u00e1s de biomarcadores como los niveles de insulina, az\u00facar, colesterol, la presi\u00f3n arterial y la adrenalina. <\/p>\n

\u00abAl contrario de lo que esper\u00e1bamos, los hombres gays y bisexuales ten\u00edan menos s\u00edntomas depresivos y menos niveles de carga alost\u00e1tica (una medida de tensi\u00f3n corporal) que los hombres heterosexuales\u00bb, dijo el autor principal de la investigaci\u00f3n, Robert-Paul Juster. <\/p>\n

\u00abLas lesbianas, los hombres gays y los bisexuales que se hab\u00edan abierto con la familia y los amigos ten\u00edan niveles menores de s\u00edntomas depresivos y niveles m\u00e1s bajos de cortisol matutinos\u00bb.<\/p>\n

Para el estudio, un total de 87 hombres y mujeres, entre ellos 46 homosexuales y bisexuales y 41 heterosexuales -todos en torno a los 25 a\u00f1os-, se sometieron a m\u00faltiples ex\u00e1menes y an\u00e1lisis. <\/p>\n

\u00abEl hecho de revelar la homosexualidad o bisexualidad puede ser beneficioso para la salud cuando las pol\u00edticas sociales son de tolerancia y facilitan el proceso de divulgaci\u00f3n\u00bb, dijo Juster. <\/p>\n

\u00abAsumir p\u00fablicamente la orientaci\u00f3n sexual ya no es solo una cuesti\u00f3n de debate popular sino una cuesti\u00f3n de salud p\u00fablica. En el \u00e1mbito internacional, las sociedades deben esforzarse por facilitar esta autoaceptaci\u00f3n promoviendo la tolerancia, avanzando en las pol\u00edticas y acabando con el estigma de todas las minor\u00edas\u00bb, estim\u00f3. <\/p>\n

Las investigaciones neurol\u00f3gicas, explic\u00f3, a menudo se basan en muestras mucho m\u00e1s peque\u00f1as pero que son objeto de un an\u00e1lisis extenso y cuidadoso, a diferencia de las investigaciones epidemiol\u00f3gicas, que se hacen en muestras mucho m\u00e1s grandes pero en base a cuestionarios que proporcionan poca precisi\u00f3n sobre la situaci\u00f3n biol\u00f3gica de los encuestados.<\/p>\n

\"\"A study out of Canada suggests that heterosexual men are going through it compared to their homosexual counterparts.<\/p>\n

Published in Psychosomatic Medicine, the study was one of the first to examine stress levels between out gays and closeted gays.
\n87 men and women from Montreal, with an average age of 25, were recruited for the study to determine whether gays, lesbians and bisexuals experienced reduced stress and anxiety after coming out.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, they did, but \u2014 rather surprisingly \u2014 heterosexual men had higher-than expected systemic stress, or allostatic load, than all the other groups.
\n\u201cInterestingly and contrary to our hypothesis, gay and bisexual men had significantly lower depressive symptoms and allostatic load levels than heterosexual men,\u201d wrote McGill University neuroscientist and lead author Robert-Paul Juster. <\/p>\n

Heterosexual men registered a third higher on an index of allostatic load compared with gay and bisexual men. In contrast, lesbian and bisexual women ranked higher than heterosexual women on the index.<\/p>\n

Noting that clinical indexes for stress include measures of body weight and fat, authors speculated that it was possible that gay and bisexual men focused more on maintaining thinness and muscularity than straight men.
\nSo apparently straight dudes are out of shape and bent out of shape about it. The study also suggests that gay and bisexual men have learned to handle their shit better.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been proposed that certain kind of stigma-related stresses can produce adaptive behavioral responses that make individuals more resilient and effective at managing future stressors,\u201d the study\u2019s authors wrote.
\nThe authors acknowledged, however, that there were certain factors that may have skewed the study\u2019s results.<\/p>\n

The sample of participants, besides being small, had an unequal proportion of lesbians and bisexual men compared to gay men and bisexual women. Meanwhile, transgender individuals were excluded all-together over concerns that changes in their sex hormones would affect test results. <\/p>\n
