Elder abuse, as distinct from other abuse, became recognized around the middle of the last century. The term "elder abuse" generally relates to abuse experienced by people over age 60. More research is needed to verify frequency of elder abuse, and the needs of the abused. History and background of elder abuse are outlined along with need for additional research. Finally, important new research adds to understanding.

520 $a Elder abuse, as distinct from other abuse, became recognized around the middle of the last century. The term "elder abuse" generally relates to abuse experienced by people over age 60. More research is needed to verify frequency of elder abuse, and the needs of the abused. History and background of elder abuse are outlined along with need for additional research. Finally, important new research adds to understanding.
520 $a Estimates are as many as 2 to 3 million US older adults may have experienced some type of abuse in 2005. Elder abuse has been reported from the Netherlands, Great Britain, and Canada. However, no large-scale, easily reproducible, populationbased survey of the frequency of elder abuse in America has been done. And little is known about the consequences of abuse to older adults. The current demographic transition will result in a higher older adult population in the United States than at any time in history. As age and dependence rises, so too does the frequency of mistreatment and exploitation. Therefore, ensuring the health, safety, and quality of life for vulnerable older adults is an important public health challenge for coming decades.
520 $a One of the leading public health documents in the United States, Healthy People 2020, has incorporated objectives intended to improve health, function, and quality of life for older adults. Healthy People states that, "a measure of elder abuse has been added to encourage data collection on this issue". This is an indicator of the timeliness and importance of the current research.
520 $a The objective of the current research is two-fold, and in direct response to Healthy People 2020 and the National Research Council's recommendations. First, we aim to estimate the yearly incidence of sexual abuse among older adults based on a large, representative, annually conducted, random digit-dialed telephone survey. The feasibility of this survey for monitoring elder abuse trends in the United States will be evaluated. Data from a large longitudinal study of postmenopausal women, aged 50-79, will be used to examine effects of physical and verbal abuse on physical and cognitive function. A three-paper model will be used to accomplish these objectives.
