Question

Fortunately, the number of elder abuse victims is expected to decrease as the population ages true or false

Answer 1

False. The number of elder abuse victims is often expected to increase as the population ages. As the proportion of older adults grows, often coupled with factors like social isolation, cognitive decline, and dependency on caregivers, the risk of elder abuse may also rise. Elder abuse can take many forms, including physical, emotional, financial, and neglect, and as the older adult population increases, awareness and prevention efforts become increasingly important.
