ABSTRACT
Elder abuse has been identified as one of the most
important researches in geriatric topics nowadays,
this is due to the outstanding discrepancy that exists
between the prevalence of elder abuse and its amount
of cases reported. This illustrates the physician’s need
to have a basic training in the detection of abuse cases.
Accordingly, this article wishes to make known to
professional health practitioners (whom in some way
interact with elder people during its clinical practice)
the definitions of elder abuse, risk factors, types
of abuse, clinical presentations and management;
being these crucial tools that indeed help prevent
diminishing the quality of life in elderly patients, and
even prevent in some cases fatal consequences.
