From research findings and practice experiences, it is concluded that abuse of older men is especially invisible and underreported, compared to abuse of older women. It is proposed that attention should be directed not to gender, but to those conditions in different countries and cultures leading to abuse of both older men and women, including (but not limited to) economic problems, few alternatives to family care of the elderly, violence, changing characteristics of the family, ageism, and sexism. Advocates for the prevention of elder abuse should work together in combating, reducing, and eliminating the problem of elder abuse of both older men and older women.
从研究结果和实践经验来看，与虐待老年女性相比，虐待老年男性的现象尤其难以察觉和报告。有人提出，关注的焦点不应是性别，而应是导致对男女老年人的虐待的不同国家和文化中的那些情况，包括（但不限于）经济问题、老年人家庭护理的替代方案有限、暴力、家庭特征的变化、年龄歧视和性别歧视。预防虐待老年人行为的倡导者应该共同努力，打击、减少和消除对男女老年人的虐待问题。
