Description
Yolanda María de la Fuente-Robles and co-authors measure abuse against older women in a 2026 community study from Eastern Andalusia, Spain. Abuse of women over sixty remains common yet understudied, and the team set out to estimate how often it happens and which factors raise the risk.
The cross-sectional study surveyed two hundred nine women living outside institutions, using the Geriatric Mistreatment Scale. Just under half reported some abuse in the past year, most often psychological, followed by physical, economic, and sexual abuse and neglect. Age, marital status, self-rated health, and loneliness stood out as risk factors. The authors urge stronger detection and response in primary care.
