ABSTRACT
A descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted in 75 older adults who suffered
domestic violence, belonging to the doctor's office of "Raúl Díaz Argüelles" Medical
College from Gabú city in Guinea Bissau, from December 2010 to the same month of
2011, in order to characterize them according to variates of interest for research, for
which the patients were surveyed and past medical and family history was reviewed.
In the series females, age group of 60-64 years, the illiterate, big families, and
psychological abuse as the most common kind of violence predominated. The main
aspects of the topic were analyzed, which allowed to justify the good clinical practices
in caring for these patients.
