Few studies have examined the association between non-consensual sex and health indicators for both women and men. The current study examined this relationship as part of a large public health survey that collected information on a range of health behaviours and health risks.
The Behavioural Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is an annual random-digit-dialled telephone survey providing surveillance of health behaviours and health risks among US adults. In 2005, an optional module on sexual violence was available for use at the discretion of each US state/territory. Over 115,000 respondents in 25 states/territories were administered the sexual violence module within the BRFSS. Logistic regression analyses were conducted from January to December 2008.
Among both women and men, previous non-consensual sex was associated with health conditions such as high cholesterol, stroke and heart disease, and risk behaviours such as human immunodeficiency virus risk factors, smoking and excessive drinking. Sexually victimized women were more likely to report having had a heart attack or heart disease than non-victims.
The experience of non-consensual sex is associated with a number of chronic disease outcomes and risk factors. The development and implementation of effective sexual violence prevention strategies may reduce the risk of chronic conditions among persons who have experienced sexual victimisation.
很少有研究调查非自愿性行为与女性和男性健康指标之间的关系。本研究作为一项大型公共卫生调查的一部分，调查了这一关系，该调查收集了一系列健康行为和健康风险信息。
行为风险因素监测系统（BRFSS）是一项年度随机数字拨号电话调查，监测美国成年人的健康行为和健康风险。2005 年，美国每个州/地区可自行决定使用关于性暴力的可选模块。在 25 个州/地区，超过 115000 名受访者接受了 BRFSS 中的性暴力模块调查。2008 年 1 月至 12 月进行了逻辑回归分析。
在女性和男性中，先前的非自愿性行为与高胆固醇、中风和心脏病等健康状况以及艾滋病毒风险因素、吸烟和酗酒等风险行为有关。性受侵害的女性比非受害者更有可能报告曾患有心脏病或心脏病。
非自愿性行为的经历与许多慢性疾病结局和风险因素有关。制定和实施有效的性暴力预防策略可能会降低遭受性侵害的人患慢性病的风险。
