Evidence is accumulating, however, to indicate that elder abuse, which includes the pervasive issue of neglect, is an important public health and societal problem that manifests itself in both developing and developed countries. From a health and social perspective, unless the primary health care and social services sectors are well equipped to identify and deal with the problem, elder abuse will continue to be underdiagnosed and overlooked.WHO Ageing and Life Course Programme 606 $aOlder people$xAbuse of 606 $aOlder people$xAbuse of$xPrevention 606 $aPrimary health care 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aOlder people$xAbuse of. 615 0$aOlder people$xAbuse of$xPrevention. 615 0$aPrimary health care. 676 $a362.11 712 02$aWorld Health Organization.$bAgeing and Life Course Unit. 712 02$aUniversit ?de Genv?e.$bCentre interfacultaire de gr?ontologie. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456650103321 996 $aA global response to elder abuse and neglect$92225794 997 $aUNINA
