Mexico as a country is immersed in a process of accelerated population aging. Older people are exposed to multiple risks, including domestic violence, not only from their couple, but also from other family members. The proposed objective of this article is to analyze the characteristics and main factors associated with family violence of older adult women in 2016 -excluding intimate partner violence- by age groups (60-69 and 70 years old or more) and subtypes of violence (emotional, economical, physical and sexual). An analysis of The National Survey on the Dynamics of Household Relationships (ENDIREH in Spanish) 2016 was used. The final sample consisted of 18,416 women aged 60 or more, which represented a total of 7,043,622 women in the age group. A descriptive analysis was carried out and then binary regression models were estimated to determine the main factors associated with violence and its subtypes. The emotional violence was the most frequent, followed by economic violence.
