Elder abuse affects approximately 2% to 10% of older Americans. Unfortunately, it is often unrecognized and certainly underreported. Dermatologists have a unique role in the detection and reporting of elder abuse. An analysis of risk factors, clinical signs, reporting requirements, and prevention of elder abuse brings this issue into focus.
虐待老年人影响大约 2%至 10%的美国老年人。不幸的是,它往往未被识别,当然也未被报告。皮肤科医生在发现和报告虐待老年人方面具有独特的作用。对危险因素、临床体征、报告要求和虐待老年人的预防的分析使这个问题成为焦点。
