Abstract
ELDER MISTREATMENT is suspected to be a morbid and mortal entity, but little is known about the ultimate fate of older victims of family violence. Studies have examined risk factors for mistreatment1-3 and prevalence surveys have been performed (32 cases per 1000 adults in the most commonly cited study),4 but no longitudinal studies of survival of mistreated elderly persons have been conducted.Keywords
