ABSTRACT

General objective: to characterize the epidemiological and clinical cases of violence in the elderly, treated at the National Institute of Legal Medicine in the city of Cali, during the period 2019 and 2020.
Materials and methods: the study was retrospective, cross-sectional, descriptive, observational, with a sample of 232 records that included elderly victims of violence residing in Santiago de Cali. For the collection of information, the SICLICO application of the INMLCF was used, which uses important variables for this investigation such as age, sex, marital status, academic level, alleged aggressor, scene of the event, time of the event, location of the event, affected system, disability, among others; and that it is obtained by expert experts in the field. Epi-Info 7.2 software was used for the analyses. The investigation was classified without risk.
Results: the assaulted people had an average age of 68.7 ± 7.8 years; they were women (55.17%), with unfinished primary school (27.59%), single (20.31%), belonging more frequently to lower strata located in communes 13, 14 and 8 of the city. The main aggressor was the son (34.48%) and they presented themselves in situations of intolerance (64.66%) that occurred mainly in the home where they lived (74.57%) precisely with the aggressor (54.31%). In the victim, the main effects are on the skin (51.72%), generating permanent disabilities in 51.29% of the cases, although in 65.22% there were no sequelae.
Conclusions: it was found that the main victims of physical violence were women, young older adults, dedicated to housework, the aggressors being their children, cohabitants and intolerant, who took advantage of the victim's home to attack her and mainly generating skin lesions that did not require disability.
