ABSTRACT
Objectives:
The current study examined the associations between lifetime abuse victimization and prospective health outcomes in late adulthood.Methods:
Data from 4907 older adults (mean age = 80) from the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study were analyzed. Multivariate analyses examined the associations of lifetime abuse victimization with depression, physical health status, and memory.Results:
Greater exposure to lifetime abuse was associated with a significantly higher risk of depression (OR = 1.13, CI [1.08, 1.19], p < .001) and a greater number of limitations in physical functioning (b = .08, SE = .02, p < .001), but not with memory performance (b = .01, SE = .14, p > .05).Discussion:
Our results support the interrelations of interpersonal violence across the life course and the lasting health effects of exposure to lifetime abuse. Findings highlight the need for a life course-based, trauma-informed approach in prevention and intervention programs for older adults.Palavras-chave
