Declarations

: The Ethical Committee of Hunan Normal University approved this study. Verbal informed consent was obtained from each participant in our study. Because some of the elderly individuals were unable to sign a written consent form due to illiteracy or for physical reasons, the ethics committee allowed us to obtain verbal consent from the elderly individuals, but we were required to acknowledge the consent in writing. All methods were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations. After the investigation, we reported the information on the abused elderly individuals to the local government so that they could obtain timely assistance.
