To verify the prevalence of violence among elderly community members and its relationship with nutritional status and sociodemographic characteristics.
Cross-sectional and analytical study developed with 159 community elderly registered at a Family Health Unit in Recife/Pernambuco between March 2016 and March 2017. The Brazil Old Age Schedule, Conflict Tactics Scales and Mini Nutritional Assessment were used as data collection instruments. Data received descriptive and inferential statistical treatment.
Among the elderly classified as with violence, there was a predominance of psychological violence (64.3%), and the majority were at risk for malnutrition (54.3%). There was an association between 'having a partner' and psychological (48.1%; p=0.02) and physical (48.1%; p=0.03) violence. Logistic regression demonstrated that being in a relationship or being malnourished increases the likelihood of suffering psychological violence (OR=2.63; OR=3.67), just as not being working increases the likelihood of physical violence (OR=5.61).
Violence was negatively related to the nutritional status of elderly community members.
验证社区老年人中暴力行为的流行情况及其与营养状况和社会人口学特征的关系。
这是一项横断面和分析性研究，于 2016 年 3 月至 2017 年 3 月期间在累西腓/伯南布哥的一个家庭健康单位对 159 名社区老年人进行了登记。巴西老年时间表、冲突策略量表和微型营养评估被用作数据收集工具。数据接受描述性和推断性统计处理。
在被归类为存在暴力行为的老年人中，心理暴力（64.3%）占主导地位，大多数老年人有营养不良的风险（54.3%）。“有伴侣”与心理（48.1%；p=0.02）和身体（48.1%；p=0.03）暴力之间存在关联。逻辑回归表明，处于恋爱关系或营养不良会增加遭受心理暴力的可能性（OR=2.63；OR=3.67），而不工作会增加遭受身体暴力的可能性（OR=5.61）。
暴力与社区老年人的营养状况呈负相关。
