PARTICIPANTS:

10,322 women (18-70 years) attending Primary Healthcare centers. MAIN MEASUREMENTS A compound index was calculated based on frequency, types, and duration of Intimate Partner Violence. Multivariable adjusted logistic regression models were used to identify the sociodemographic factors, which were independently associated with each Intimate Partner Violence category.

RESULTS:

The prevalence of Intimate Partner Violence was 24.8%. For the physical only category, no differences were observed regarding education or employment status, and women with the highest income have less risk.
