With an increasing aged population, health issues in elderly, especially in women, are raised. This study discusses findings about the association between emotional and financial abuse and elder self-neglect (ESN) as a hidden concern in a population of community-dwelling elder adults. The study is based on a prior cross-sectional survey on elderly abuse in Malaysia under sponsorship of the Ministry of Science. Participants of the project study were older individuals (N= 480) reported to the Gerontology Department for suspected maltreatment that was conducted from January to May 2008 with the face to face interview method using enumerator-administered questionnaires. The primary outcome of the project on emotional and financial abuse supported by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI), that assessed using emotional (5 items) and financial abuse (4 items), and self neglect (7 items) test. Correlation regression was utilized to assess this association. After consideration of confounding, higher emotional and financial abuse, respectively were associated with self neglect in elder persons (coefficient = 95 %, p = .001). Other Socio-demographic risk factors were also high correlated with ESN behavior. Elderly abuse and self-neglect is a common issue across all countries and as the significant threat to the health of elderly. However, a correlation between different kinds of abuses shows that emotional and financial abuses are more likely to experience self neglect in later life. Other Socio-demographic risk factors have to be discussed.
