The Association between Early Memory Loss, Financial Exploitation and Financial Exploitation Vulnerability

This study evaluated a conceptual framework investigating early memory loss and financial behaviors and their association with financial exploitation and financial exploitation vulnerability. The study used a cross-sectional design and included 150 participants. T tests and chi square were used in bivariate analysis and logistic and multiple regressions were used in multivariate analysis. Early memory loss was related to financial exploitation and financial exploitation vulnerability in univariate analysis, while and financial behaviors shared significant associations with financial exploitation vulnerability in multivariate analysis. Results support the proposed framework that early memory loss and banking behaviors share a relationship with financial exploitation and financial exploitation vulnerability.
