N2  - The present study is the first one to our knowledge that tries to give a panoramic view and explore the problem of Elderly Abuse in Puerto Rico. A retrospective statistical analysis of frequencies of cases by sex gender, age strata and region has been obtained showing an increasing tendency of cases. We conclude that the phenomena of abuse in the Puerto Rican Elderly population is one that requires rapid interventions with emphasis in the prevention component.<p /> <p>Language: es</p>
