Abstract

What is already known about this topic?: Intimate partner violence (IPV) represents a significant global public health concern.

What is added by this report?: The burden of HIV/AIDS related to IPV demonstrated an upward trend from 1990 to 2019, exhibiting an annual growth of 4.66% in age-standardized death rates (ASDR) and 4.42% in age-standardized disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) rates. Notably, the age groups 30-34 and 50-54 experienced a higher IPV burden compared to other age groups.

What are the implications for public health practice?: There is a pressing need for public health policymakers to develop efficacious interventions aimed at bolstering the surveillance and prevention of IPV targeted at women in China.
