The High Prevalence of Depression and Dementia in Elder Abuse or Neglect
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The risk factors for mistreatment of older people include age, race, low income, functional or cognitive impairment, a history of violence, and recent stressful events. There is little information in the literature concerning the clinical profile of mistreated older people. OBJECTIVES: To describe the characteristics of abused or neglected patients and to compare the prevalence of depression and dementia in neglected patients with that of patients referred for other reasons. DESIGN: A case control study. SETTING: Baylor College of Medicine Geriatrics Clinic at the Harris County Hospital District (Houston, Texas). PATIENTS: Forty‐seven older persons referred for neglect and 97 referred for other reasons. INTERVENTION: Comprehensive geriatric assessment. MEASUREMENTS: Standard geriatric assessment tools. RESULTS: There was a statistically significant higher prevalence of depression (62% vs 12%) and dementia (51% vs 30%) in victims of self‐neglect compared to patients referred for other reasons. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first primary data study that highlights a high prevalence of depression as well as dementia in mistreated older people. Geriatric clinicians should rule out elder neglect or abuse in their depressed or demented patients. J Am Geriatr Soc 48: 205–208, 2000.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
