To analyze economic-financial and patrimonial cases of elder abuse, recorded in the specialized police station for security and protection of the elderly of a capital city in the northeast region of Brazil.
A cross-sectional study was carried out with data extracted from police reports and inquiries recorded in the abovementioned police station. Descriptive and inferential statistics were carried out by means of Pearson's chi-square test or Fisher's exact test, and multivariate logistic regression.
The sample was made up of 555 police reports. The data showed that financial abuse presented a prevalence of 58.9%, and that older elderly people (67.9%), men (70.4%), and single (75.0%) presented a higher percentage of financial abuse compared with other types of violence, often occurring in public places, with 3.1 more chances of occurrence than at the elderly's home. Regarding aggressors, women (73.5%), without suspicion of alcohol use (66.4%), and non-family members committed more financial abuse, evidencing 2.97 more chances of practicing it.
In the period studied, financial abuse increased in its magnitude when compared with other types of violence, a fact that justifies researching the theme in order to prevent it.
分析巴西东北地区某首府城市老年人安全与保护专门警察局记录的虐待老年人的经济财务和遗产相关案例。
开展一项横断面研究，数据取自上述警察局记录的警方报告和问询。通过Pearson卡方检验或Fisher精确检验以及多变量逻辑回归进行描述性和推断性统计分析。
样本由555份警方报告组成。数据显示，经济虐待的患病率为58.9%，与其他类型的暴力相比，年龄较大的老年人（67.9%）、男性（70.4%）和单身者（75.0%）遭受经济虐待的比例更高，经济虐待常发生在公共场所，发生几率比在老年人家里高3.1倍。在施暴者方面，女性（73.5%）、无酗酒嫌疑者（66.4%）和非家庭成员实施的经济虐待更多，有证据表明实施经济虐待的几率高2.97倍。
在所研究的时期内，与其他类型的暴力相比，经济虐待的程度有所增加，这一事实证明有必要对该主题进行研究以预防此类情况。
