Data about transgender medical care, especially the gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) is extremely insufficient in China. Few evidence exists in the physical and psychological effects of the hormonal treatment in Chinese transgender population. CGAHT is designed to describe the social and mental condition of transgender people who are seeking for formal GAHT, and to investigate the physical and psychological effects of GAHT on this population in China.
CGAHT will be conducted in one of the main transgender medical centers in Chinese mainland. Participants who are seeking for the start of GAHT will be enrolled from clinical visitors. Before GAHT, participants will be interviewed with questionaries about their life experience, gender identity and social economic conditions. Evaluations on mental and physical health will be performed at baseline and during the GAHT. Participants will be followed up to 12 months. GAHT will be given to transgender people according to the protocol recommended by the international guideline (doi: 10.1210/jc.2017-01658) .

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Change from Baseline Insulin Sensitivity at 12 months | Insulin sensitivity will be assessed with composite insulin sensitivity index (ISI), which is calculated as 10 000/√[(fasting glucose [mg/dL]) ×(fasting insulin [μU/mL]) × (mean glucose [mg/dL]) × (mean insulin [μU/mL])], using 0 min, 60 min, and 120 min values of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Composite ISI will be evaluated at baseline and every 6 months until 12 months of GAHT. | 12 months |
| Change from Baseline Beta-cell Function at 12 months | Beta-cell function will be assessed with oral glucose tolerance test-derived disposition index (DI). First, 60 min insulinogenic index (IGI60) is calculated as (insulin60 min-insulin0 min[μU/mL])/(glucose60 min-glucose0 min [mmol/L]), using 0 min and 60 min values of OGTT. Then DI is calculated by multiplying IGI60 with composite ISI to reflect beta-cell function adjusting for the insulin sensitivity. DI will be evaluated at baseline and every 6 months until 12 months of GAHT. | 12 months |
| Change from Baseline Bone Mineral Density at 12 months | Bone mineral densities (g/cm^2) of lumber spine and hip will be evaluated by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry at baseline and 12 months of GAHT. | 12 months |
| Depression Changes from Baseline Psychological Questionnaires at 12 months | Patient Health Questionnaire will be tested at baseline and every 3 months until 12 months to understand the effects of GAHT | 12 months |
| Anxiety Changes from Baseline Psychological Questionnaires at 12 months | Generalized anxiety disorder scale will be tested at baseline and every 3 months until 12 months to understand the effects of GAHT | 12 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events | The incidence of adverse events during the 12 months of GAHT will be calculated, including thromboembolic events, drug-induced liver injury, hyperkalemia, newly diagnosed cardiovascular disease, erythrocytosis and newly diagnosed tumor. | Up to 12 months |
| Change from Baseline Body Mass Index at 12 months |
