In the last three decades, there is responsiveness toward abuse of children and spouses worldwide but even today abuse and neglect of aged people seem to be the matter of least concern. This study aims to reveal the magnitude of elder abuse and its predictors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is a cross\u2010sectional study carried out in a community setting among elderly people (60\u2009years and older) from October 2015 to September 2017 in a rural area of West Bengal, eastern part of India. Elder abuse was elicited by questions adapted from the Actual Abuse Tool. Data were analysed using SPSS (version 16.0). Logistic regression analysis was performed to reveal the factors associated with elder abuse.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study found that 25.6% of the respondents had experienced abuse, psychological abuse being the commonest type. Disability was the most common perceived risk for abuse. Univariate logistic regression showed higher age (70\u2009years and older), female gender, who were Scheduled caste, living in a nuclear family, having more than three children, financially and functionally dependent, who was suffering from depression and multimorbidity had increased odds of being abused. In multivariable logistic regression, people aged above 70\u2009years, living in a nuclear family and dependent for instrumental activities of daily living remained significant predictors of abuse.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Around one in four of the respondents was abused in a 1 year duration which implies the urgent need for action. Routine screening for elder abuse at ground level and abuse prevention campaigns can be an important measure to alleviate this hidden problem. Also, there is a need to explore culturally specific forms of elder abuse to provide an age\u2010friendly environment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/psyg.12550","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,6]],"date-time":"2020-04-06T09:22:34Z","timestamp":1586164954000},"page":"636-644","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Elder abuse and its predictors: a cross\u2010sectional study in a rural area of West Bengal, eastern part of India"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8329-2245","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sembagamuthu","family":"Sembiah","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community and Family Medicine All India Institute of Medical Sciences  Bhopal India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aparajita","family":"Dasgupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preventive and Social Medicine All India Institute of Hygiene &amp; Public Health  Kolkata India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chandrashekhar S.","family":"Taklikar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Promotion and Education All India Institute of Hygiene &amp; Public Health  Kolkata India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bobby","family":"Paul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Head of the Department, Department of Preventive and Social Medicine All India Institute of Hygiene &amp; Public Health  Kolkata India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lina","family":"Bandyopadhyay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Public Health Specialist Grade\u20101 &amp; Assistant Professor Department of Preventive and Social Medicine, All India Institute of Hygiene &amp; Public Health  Kolkata India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jayeeta","family":"Burman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community and Family Medicine All India Institute of Medical Sciences  Bhopal India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","unstructured":"Shubasoneja.
