Description
Carolyn Pickering and four co-authors study abuse of older adults with dementia, by sex and disability. Their twenty twenty-four paper uses reports from family caregivers at three time points over a year. Caregivers covered more than four hundred fifty people with dementia. Most care recipients were women. The team tracked physical harm, verbal harm, and neglect.
Women needed more help with daily tasks and were more often in wheelchairs or beds. In a simple model, women faced less neglect than men. But women who could not leave a chair or bed faced more neglect. The authors say sex and disability must be read together, not apart.
