The objectives of this study are to: (a) examine the association of loneliness and mistreatment of older Chinese women, and (b) examine the potential modifying effect of social support on these associations. We conducted a cross-sectional study of 141 elderly women presented to an urban medical center. After adjusting for confounders, every 1-point increase in the loneliness score was associated with 44% increased risk for mistreatment. After adding the interaction of social support (social support x loneliness), loneliness was no longer associated with increased risk for mistreatment. Loneliness is a significant risk factor for mistreatment of older Chinese women. Greater social support, particularly perceived social support, may modify loneliness as a risk factor for the mistreatment of older Chinese women.
（a）考察中国老年女性的孤独感与受虐待之间的关联，以及（b）考察社会支持对这些关联的潜在调节作用。我们对一家城市医疗中心的141名老年女性进行了横断面研究。在对混杂因素进行调整后，孤独感得分每增加1分，受虐待风险就增加44%。在加入社会支持（社会支持×孤独感）的交互项后，孤独感与受虐待风险增加不再相关。孤独感是中国老年女性受虐待的一个重要风险因素。更多的社会支持，尤其是感知到的社会支持，可能会改变孤独感作为中国老年女性受虐待风险因素的状况。
