AnnotationUrban and rural differences in characteristics associated with elder mistreatment (EM) in a Chinese population are compared. A cross-sectional study of 269 urban and 135 rural participants aged 60+ was performed. Among those with EM, rural participants were more likely to be women, have lower levels of education and income, have lower levels of health status and quality of life, have worse change in recent health, and have lower levels of psychosocial well-being. Both higher levels of depressive symptoms and lower levels of social support were associated with increased risk of EM. (RH).
