“…However, adult children are the most frequent perpetrators (National Center on Elder Abuse, 1998; Thomson et al, 2011). The few studies that report gender of children present conflicting data about whether daughters or sons are the more likely assailants (Bond et al, 1995;Sharon, 1991;Thomson et al, 2011). However, data from two other areas suggest that there is no reason to think the sanctity of the mother-daughter bond prevents daughters from abusing their aging mothers.…”

“…Most female victims of elder abuse are mothers, and many perpetrators of abuse are daughters (Bond, Penner, & Yellen, 1995;Sharon, 1991;Thomson et al, 2011). This may reflect population demographics as older women outnumber older men (Werner, 2011), and daughters are more likely to be providing caregiving support than sons (Coward & Dwyer, 1990), thus providing increased opportunities for these two groups to interact and for elder abuse and neglect to occur.…”

The older adult population is growing rapidly, and with it comes a national concern for elder abuse. Elder abuse is an intentional act of harm or failure to provide care by a person in a trusted relationship with the elder. One relationship is often overlooked in both research and clinical practice as having special significance for elder abuse-that of the adult daughter-elderly mother. However, recent studies suggest that there are gender differences in the use of aggression, which challenge standard assessments of abuse and may be important for assessing mother-daughter relationships. In this narrative review article, the authors review the relevant literature on female-to-female aggression, with an emphasis on its application to mother-daughter relationships and elder abuse. Measurement tools are evaluated in light of the state of the science. The authors conclude with specific recommendations for clinical practice.

This study evaluated on a county level the association of Iowa's domestic dependent-adult abuse investigations with the location of adult protective services (APS) offices, rurality, government resources, felony charges and prosecutions, child abuse reports, and census demographics. In 2003, the rate of dependent-adult abuse investigations for Iowa was 0.70 per 1,000 population age 18 and older. Higher rates of child abuse investigations, felony prosecutions, sheriff's annual salary, and lower rates of child abuse substantiations are associated with higher rates of dependent-adult abuse investigations and substantiations.
