| Annotation | The proportion of Japanese older people who have heard of elder abuse and their perceptions of elder abuse were examined, using data collected from a nationally representative sample of more than 4,000 Japanese older people in 1999. Approximately half had heard of elder abuse, among whom some 18% knew victims of elder abuse. Further, the definitions of elder abuse among these older people included psychological abuse, neglect, physical abuse and financial abuse. Based on these findings, it is strongly recommended that preventive measures as well as public education programmes be implemented to help prevent, detect and treat elder abuse in a timely manner.
