A cross-section study was conducted on a sample of 272 elders recruited from outpatient clinicsFamily Health Centers in Shawa &amp; Berkin villages from May 1 to September 3, 2016. 200 (73.5%) elders accepted participation. A previously designed and validated questionnaires were used to collect data from participants. 46% of the studied elders were abused. The most frequent forms of abuse were negligence (40%) followed by psychological abuse (30.5%). Abuse was significantly higher among females (56.5%), farmers (67.2%), illiterates (55.5%) and living alone elders (68.5%). Elders with chronic diseases were significantly more abused (54.9%) especially diabetic and hypertensive elders (71.4%). Concerning lifestyle of the studied elders, 21% of them had bad health perception generally. The study showed that dependent elders exposed significantly to higher rates of abuse than independents with highly statistical significant.Logistic regression analysis revealed that being a female and previously working as farmer are 2.5 and 4.6 times more likely to be abused. On the other hand, sharing house with other partner or offspring and absence of chronic diseases are protective predictors against elder abuse. Governmental and NGOS support to elders in rural areas especially females and famers is highly recommended. Health insurance is necessary for health promotion, reduction of chronic disease and or disability to decrease dependency is crucial.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0886260518767900","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,13]],"date-time":"2018-04-13T06:57:21Z","timestamp":1523602641000},"page":"NP2868-NP2882","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Abuse of Rural Elders in Mansoura Districts, Dakahlia, Egypt: Prevalence, Types, Risk Factors, and Lifestyle"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"36","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4197-5141","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ghada","family":"El-Khawaga","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mansoura University, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Noha","family":"Eladawi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mansoura University, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Farida","family":"Abdel-Wahab","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mansoura University, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0886260518767900","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1447-0594.2011.00780.x"},{"key":"bibr2-0886260518767900","volume-title":"Age Concern Elder Abuse and Neglect Prevention Services: An Analysis of Referrals for the Period 1 July 2002 to 30 June 2004","author":"Age Concern NZ","year":"2005"},{"key":"bibr3-0886260518767900","first-page":"896","volume":"72","author":"American academy of family physicians interventions and treatment strategy for elder abuse","year":"2005","journal-title":"American Family Physician"},{"key":"bibr4-0886260518767900","unstructured":"Buffel T., Vert\u00e9 D., De Witte N., De Donder L., Dury S.
