Li M, et al. - In this population-based epidemiological study, researchers analyzed 3,157 Chinese Americans aged ≥ 60 years to determine the link between various definitions and subtypes of elder mistreatment (EM) and yearly mortality. From 2011 to 2017, data were gathered, and over the subsequent 4 years, mortality data were obtained. Greater risk of 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-year mortality was reported in correlation with severe and moderate EM. A greater risk of 3- and 4-year mortality was observed in relation to a broad definition of EM. Greater mortality risk was also reported in correlation with psychological mistreatment and caregiver neglect, whereas differences in the links between psychological mistreatment, caregiver neglect, and mortality risk were noted based on definitional criteria. Among Chinese-American older adults, the associations of various definitions and subtypes of EM with mortality were found to be different. This investigation challenged believes about consequences of EM and called for customized interventions for EM in minority populations.
