Through a systematic reviewof the literature, an analysis is undertaken of this problem, including gender as an additional risk factor. The last five years haveseen a noticeable increase in the attention paid by professionals and researchers to gender-based violence directed towards the olderwoman. As a consequence of under-reporting on the part of the victims, and of the difficulty of detection on that of professionals,the statistical data would appear not to reflect the scale of the problem accurately.© 2014 The Authors.
