“…Studies suggests similar findings also among older adults, albeit rarely investigated (Hamby, Smith, Mitchell, & Turner, 2016;Ramsey-Klawsnik, 2017;Teaster, 2017;Williams, Racette, Hernandez-Tejada, & Acierno, 2017). Recently, experiences of childhood abuse have also been found to be associated with reporting abuse as well as ill-health in older age (Kong & Easton, 2018;Maschi, Baer, Morrissey, & Moreno, 2013;Wang & Dong, 2019). Hence, from a health care standpoint, a life-course perspective is well motivated.…”

This study aimed to develop and validate REAGERA-S, a selfadministered instrument to identify elder abuse as well as lifetime experiences of abuse in older adults. REAGERA-S consists of nine questions concerning physical, emotional, sexual, financial abuse and neglect. Participants were recruited among patients (≥ 65 years) admitted to acute in-hospital care (n = 179). Exclusion criteria were insufficient physical, cognitive, or language capacity to complete the instrument. A semistructured interview conducted by a physician was used as a gold standard against which to assess the REAGERA-S. The final version was answered by 95 older adults, of whom 71 were interviewed. Sensitivity for lifetime experiences of abuse was 71.9% and specificity 92.3%. For elder abuse, sensitivity was 87.5% and specificity was 92.3%. REAGERA-S performed well in validation and can be recommended for use in hospitals to identify elder abuse as well as lifetime experience of abuse among older adults.

“…Fewer studies have examined multiple types of victimization that are often reported by older people [21], including emotional, physical, sexual, and financial abuse [22]. Wang and Dong [23] found significant correlations between several types of child maltreatment and elder abuse, though the researchers acknowledged that their research captured a limited range of types of abuse, and called for further research to include broader measurement across both child maltreatment and elder abuse domains.…”

The association between elder abuse and childhood adversity: A study of older adults in Malaysia

et al. 2021

Objectives Childhood adversity has been linked with later victimization of young and middle-aged adults, but few studies have shown persistence of this effect among elders, especially outside of North America. This research examined the association between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and elder abuse among older adults aged 60 years and over in Malaysia. Design Cross sectional data were collected via face-to-face interview from June to August 2019. Setting Eight government community health clinics in Kuala Pilah, a district in Negeri Sembilan state approximately 100km from Malaysian capital city Kuala Lumpur. Participants Older adults aged 60 years and above (N = 1984; Mean age 69.2, range 60–93 years) attending all eight government health clinics in the district were recruited for a face-to-face interview about health and well-being. Measurement The Adverse Childhood Experience International Questionnaire (ACE-IQ) and the Revised Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS) were utilized to estimate childhood adversity and elder abuse respectively. Results Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed a significant relationship between the number of cumulative ACEs and elder abuse. Compared to older adults with no self-reported adversity, those reporting three ACEs (OR 2.67, 95% CI 1.84,3.87) or four or more ACEs (OR 1.7, 95% CI 1.16, 2.48) had higher risk of any elder abuse occurrence since age 60 years. The effect was most prominent for financial and psychological elder abuse. The associations persisted in multivariate logistic regression models after adjusting for sociodemographic and health factors. Conclusion Early life adversities were significantly associated with victimization of older adults. Social and emotional support to address elder abuse should recognize that, for some men and women, there is a possibility that vulnerability to maltreatment persisted throughout their life course.

“…Sin embargo, sí existen diferencias significativas en cuanto al tipo de maltrato, la duración del maltrato a lo largo de la vida y la frecuencia de las acciones de maltrato en el último año; en el caso de las mujeres, el inicio del maltrato se remonta más en el tiempo, y la frecuencia de los actos de maltrato en el último año es mayor. Según investigaciones recientes, no hay diferencias entre los hombres y las mujeres en la prevalencia del maltrato (Badenes-Ribera, Fabris y Longobardi, 2019; Yon y otros, 2017); sin embargo, un historial de violencia puede predisponer aún más a una persona a sufrir diferentes tipos de maltrato en la vejez (Wang y Dong, 2019). En nuestro estudio, consideramos que en el caso de algunas mujeres se está registrando un aumento de la violencia de género.…”

Between 8.1% and 18.6% of older persons in Mexico are estimated to suffer ill-treatment, with this figure perhaps as high as 30% among those who rely on permanent care. As the population ages and life expectancy increases, the number of older persons suffering ill-treatment could also increase. This work aims to provide a diagnostic of ill-treatment of older persons in the family environment on the basis of the Survey on Health and Life Experiences of Older Persons 2018-2020, carried out in Mexico City and Xalapa (State of Veracruz). One of the study's main conclusions is that older women and older men are equally affected by ill-treatment. However, there are differences by sex with respect to the type of ill-treatment, the number of types of ill-treatment suffered simultaneously, the frequency of ill-treatment and party responsible for it.
