Area of Science:

Gerontology
Social Sciences
Public Health

Background:

Elder abuse or mistreatment of older adults (EA/MOA) definitions are analyzed.
Core elements and crucial concepts like age, vulnerability, trust, and power balance are examined.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify core elements in EA/MOA definitions.
To discuss the relevance of key concepts in understanding EA/MOA.
To highlight areas needing conceptual development in EA/MOA research.

Main Methods:

Critical analysis of selected literature on EA/MOA.
Focus on research published within the last 10 years.

Main Results:

Commonalities in EA/MOA definitions include status offense, acts/omissions, and multiple behavior levels.
Discrepancies exist regarding intentionality and harmful effects.
EA/MOA is a complex victimization subtype within specific relationships, often involving trust and vulnerability.
Vulnerability is a key variable, especially in neglect cases.
Power imbalance is common but not essential in victim-perpetrator relationships.

Conclusions:

EA/MOA research requires further conceptual development.
Defining EA/MOA within specific relationships and considering vulnerability impacts research design, sampling, and survey limitations.
