*2.4. Statistical Analysis*

The statistical analysis was performed with STATISTICA version 13.1 (Dell Technologies, Round Rock, TX, USA). In the first stage, the EA rates were analysed. The chi-square test was used successively to determine the relationship between sociodemographic characteristics and the rate of older adult abuse. Finally, a logistic regression model was performed to assess the relationship between the independent variables and the incidence and the risk of EA. Statistical results with *p* < 0.05 were considered significant and the performed analyses were assessed in the 95% confidence interval (CI).
