N2  - OBJECTIVE: to identify the factors associated with the risk of violence against older adult women. <br><br>METHOD: this is a quantitative, analytical, and cross-sectional  research conducted with 122 older adult females in the city of Recife, state of  Pernambuco, Brazil. Data collection was carried out using validated instruments  adapted to Brazil. The analysis was performed using descriptive statistics (absolute  and relative frequency) and inferential statistics (Pearson's chi- square,  Spearman's correlation test, and Multiple Logistic Regression). <br><br>RESULTS: there was  prevalence of a risk of abuse against older adult women under 70 years of age,  literate, without a stable relationship, living alone, without any work activity,  and who had an income higher than the minimum wage. There is a significant  association between the risk of violence among older women with a higher number of  chronic health conditions (24; 77.4%), and who are less active in advanced  activities (42; 70.0%). A reduction in quality of life and satisfaction with life,  and the onset of depressive symptoms, increase the risk of violence. <br><br>CONCLUSION:  multimorbidity, low functional capacity, depressive symptoms, low quality of life  and low satisfaction with life, a high number of chronic conditions, depressive  symptoms, and functional dependence to perform daily activities can be conditioning  factors for the emergence of abuse against older adults.<p />  <p>Language: es</p>
