Abstract:

Violence against the elderly is a complex public health problem. It is of fundamental importance to know its associated factors, with emphasis on each type of violence, to enable the creation of public policies based on evidence. The objective of this study was to systematically review the literature of analytical epidemiological studies on the factors associated with violence against the elderly. For the bibliographic search four databases were used: Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science and Lilacs, without years\' cut. The ion of articles was done in pairs and in two stages: reading of abstracts (3121) and reading of complete articles (64), articles were ed (27). The risk of bias was evaluated. The factors associated with general violence were age, sex, marital status, educational level, income, family arrangement, social support, solitude, mental disorder, depression, suicide attempt, dependence for activities of daily living, cognitive function, chronic diseases, alcohol or drug abuse among others. Violence against the elderly has appeared as a multifactor and complex phenomenon, so it can not be seen in a partial, one-dimensional, but taking into account all dimensions and understanding that there is an interdependence between them.
