This article examines the ecological risk factors of abuse against older women. Data from 2,880 older women were randomly collected in five European countries (Austria, Belgium, Finland, Lithuania, and Portugal) using a standardized questionnaire. Results indicate that overall 30.1 % older women had at least one experience of abuse in the past year. The findings demonstrate that a single emphasis on personal risk factors (e.g., health, coping) is important but too simple: Abuse is multifaceted and is embedded in environmental (e.g., loneliness, household income) as well as macrocultural contexts (e.g., old age dependency ratio).
本文探讨了老年女性遭受虐待的生态风险因素。使用标准化问卷，在五个欧洲国家（奥地利、比利时、芬兰、立陶宛和葡萄牙）随机收集了2880名老年女性的数据。结果表明，总体而言，30.1%的老年女性在过去一年中至少有过一次受虐经历。研究结果表明，单纯强调个人风险因素（如健康、应对能力）很重要，但过于简单：虐待是多方面的，且根植于环境因素（如孤独、家庭收入）以及宏观文化背景（如老年抚养比）之中。
