Exposure to potentially traumatic events (PTEs), including interpersonal violence, is associated with poorer physical health in young adults. This relation has not been well-investigated among older adults in specific populations. The present study was designed to investigate whether exposure to PTEs and elder mistreatment are associated with physical health status among older adults residing in South Carolina. Older adults aged 60 and above (N = 902) participated in a structured interview assessing elder mistreatment history, PTEs, demographics, and social dependency variables. Results demonstrated that PTEs were associated with poor self-rated health independently and when controlling for other significant predictors. A recent history of emotional mistreatment was associated with poor self-rated health independently, but not when controlling for other significant predictors.
接触潜在创伤性事件（PTEs），包括人际暴力，与年轻人的身体健康状况较差有关。在特定人群中，这一关系在老年人中尚未得到充分研究。本研究旨在调查在南卡罗来纳州居住的老年人中，是否接触 PTEs 和虐待老人与身体健康状况有关。年龄在 60 岁及以上的老年人（N=902）参加了一项结构化访谈，评估虐待老人史、PTEs、人口统计学和社会依赖变量。结果表明，PTEs 与自我报告的健康状况较差独立相关，且在控制其他重要预测因素后仍然如此。最近有情感虐待史与自我报告的健康状况较差独立相关，但在控制其他重要预测因素后则不然。
