This paper aims at presenting findings of the research that aimed at
exploring the frequency of abuse targeting older persons, frequency of
individual types of elder abuse, as well as the frequency of elder abuse
targeting two different types of older persons. The research took place in
2016 in 9 Serbian municipalities and was designed as a cross-section study.
It was conducted on a sample of 616 older persons of whom 58.1% (358) are
socially less active and have some kind of support in daily life activities
and 41.9% (258) are active in their communities and are socially included.
The starting assumption of the research is that the frequency of elder abuse
is more often in socially excluded persons than it is in socially included
and more active ones. The research confirmed the correlation between the
level of social activity and the risk of elder abuse and this correlation
can be clearly explained by exploring other protective factors and risk
factors such as income and education level or chronic diseases and
disability.
