The data derived from a nationally representative survey on violence in which approximately 2,800 women and men aged 60 to 74 years in Sweden participated. Women were significantly more likely to have been subjected to at least one form of violence in the past year. The prevalence of sexual violence as well as systematic and repeated psychological violence was found to be significantly higher for women than for men. Sexual violence was the most common form of violence against women. Systematic and repeated psychological violence was the most common form of violence against men. Additional gender differences were found in relation to victim characteristics. While associations among women were found between violence victimization and sociodemographic characteristics, health as well as social capital, only health-related characteristics were found to be associated with past-year violence victimization among men. Among women, economic problems, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, lack of trust in other people, and not having anyone to talk to were associated with violence victimization. Poor psychological health and an at-risk consumption of alcohol were found to be associated with violence victimization among men. The results highlight the importance of research on violence victimization to assess gender differences also when inquiring into the situation among persons in older generations. The results also indicate practical implications for caring professions; the need to inquire into the experiences of violence among older persons and to pay particular attention to these characteristics when encountering women and men in this age interval.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0886260517696874","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,20]],"date-time":"2017-03-20T05:32:41Z","timestamp":1489987961000},"page":"1539-1561","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Prevalence and Correlates of Sexual, Physical, and Psychological Violence Against Women and Men of 60 to 74 Years in Sweden"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"Petra","family":"Ahnlund","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ume\u00e5 University, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tommy","family":"Andersson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ume\u00e5 University, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fredrik","family":"Snellman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ume\u00e5 University, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Madelene","family":"Sundstr\u00f6m","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Uppsala University, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gun","family":"Heimer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Uppsala University, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0886260517696874","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.2009.163089"},{"key":"bibr2-0886260517696874","unstructured":"Acierno R., Hernandez-Tejada M., Muzzy W., Steve K.
