Each year approximately 10% of adults 65 years and older are abused, and 4% experience moderate to severe abuse.1-4 Elder abuse has been recorded since the 19th century, but it was not brought to the forefront until 1980, by the US House Select Committee on Aging. By 2030, the US population will consist of about 70 million older Americans, which is more than twice the number in 1990. Thus, an increase in the number of older victims of abuse can be expected.5 In 1987, the American Medical Association's Council on Scientific Affairs defined elder abuse as an act or omission that results in harm or threatened harm to the health or welfare of an elderly person.3 Elder abuse can be classified into 6 categories: (1) physical abuse, (2) sexual abuse, (3) neglect, (4) psychological abuse, (5) financial and material exploitation, and (6) violation of rights.5
