Abstract:

We aimed to identify the prevalence of domestic violence against non-institutionalized elderlies, and to verify if violence is an independent factor associated to the Physical (FC) and Mental (MC) Component scores of these elderlies Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL). This is a cross-sectional epidemiologic and population-based investigation that is part of the SABE (Health, Well-Being and Ageing) study. A sample of 1.126 elderlies filled the Short-Form 12 Health Related Survey (SF-12), a generic instrument that assesses the HRQOL through the Physical and Mental components. Prevalence of domestic violence was 10% (CI 95% 9.1-13.6). In the multiple analyses, violence against elderlies kept significantly associated to the MC (β=-3.03; p=0.000) and to FC (β=-1.69; p=0.017) of the HRQOL, independently of the sociodemographic, health, family support, and functional incapacity covariates. The prevalence of domestic violence was high and compromised the elderlies physical and mental health.
