Abstract

Objective: To analyze the trend of Violence Against the Elderly in the Greater São Luís Metropolitan Region, from 2015 to 2019.
Method: This is an ecological study of time series, with descriptive analysis, presenting the absolute and relative frequencies, and trend analysis using Prais-Winsten linear regression. Results: In the period, there were 5,172 reports of violence, of which: 58.7% referred to female individuals, 52.44% were brown, 87.3% literate, 52.6% belonged to the age group of 60 to 70 years and 86,6% had an income of up to 01 minimum wage. There was a predominance of cases of neglect, psychological violence and financial abuse and an increasing tendency towards violence due to abandonment, neglect and self-neglect. Conclusion: It is pertinent to incorporate strategies for the prevention and identification of ill-treatment against the elderly, in addition to the need to enforce protective laws and carry out notification of confirmed or suspected cases of violence.
