Abstract
This article aims to analyze the relationship between active aging and violence against the elderly. It approaches the meanings of violence on the elderly and how the concept of active aging integrates them. Based on a literature review we consider the contributions of various theoretical approaches of violence on the elderly, we analyze the framework of violence in several European countries, including Portugal. Finally it identifies the risk factors and protective factors to enhance the active aging in this area, and it reflects on how the policy guidelines focused on active aging can prevent and protect older people from abuse and ill tracts at home, in institutions and the community.
