The experience of intimate partner violence and age at the onset of multimorbidity
Synopsis
Few studies have examined the association between intimate partner
violence (IPV) and the risk of multimorbidity. Furthermore, to our best
knowledge, the role of IPV in accelerating the age at the onset of
multimorbidity is unknown. The paper aims to
1.
examine the
association between IPV and prevalence and the age at onset of multimorbidity
after adjustment for traditional risk factors.
2.
investigate whether
IPV ranks among the top predictors of multimorbidity.
