OBJECTIVE
This study examines links between women's experiences of violence during adulthood (including physical and sexual violence) and women's physical health, mental health, and functional status.
METHODS
Data were analyzed from a representative sample of 9,830 North Carolina women surveyed by the North Carolina Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS).
RESULTS
One-quarter of the women experienced violence as adults, with current or ex-partners being the most common perpetrators. Logistic regression analyses that controlled for the sociodemographic characteristics of the women found that women who experienced violence were significantly more likely than other women to have poor physical health, poor mental health, and functional limitations. Moreover, these negative health outcomes were most prevalent among the women who experienced a combination of both physical and sexual violence.
CONCLUSIONS
These findings underscore the need for trauma-informed women's health services and policies.
目的
本研究探讨成年女性遭受暴力（包括身体暴力和性暴力）的经历与女性身体健康、心理健康及功能状况之间的联系。
方法
对北卡罗来纳州行为风险因素监测系统（BRFSS）调查的9830名北卡罗来纳州女性的代表性样本数据进行分析。
结果
四分之一的女性在成年后遭受过暴力，施暴者最常见的是现任或前任伴侣。在控制了女性社会人口学特征的逻辑回归分析中发现，遭受暴力的女性比其他女性更有可能身体健康不佳、心理健康不佳和存在功能受限问题。此外，这些负面健康结果在同时遭受身体暴力和性暴力的女性中最为普遍。
结论
这些发现强调了提供创伤知情的女性健康服务和政策的必要性。
