“…Most common form of verbal abuse experienced by victims of DV was humiliation, which occurred in 78.9% of the urban group and 76.6% of those in the rural group. For physical abuse, slap was the commonest form amongst the urban married women, 26.3%, this finding was similar to a study in Lagos, Nigeria and Mangalore (Onigboyi et al, 2015;Chrism et al, 2018) where about a half of the respondents were slapped, and other studies in India and Turkey (Aswar et al, 2013;Tokuc et al, 2010). These authors reported that the consequences of DV in their studies included physical/medical problems like injuries, bruises, cuts, body aches, body weakness and stress.…”

Domestic violence against women, in its various forms, remains endemic in communities and countries globally and is coupled with contributing marital disharmonies, adverse health outcomes on the victims, their children, immediate families and the community. The study assessed and compared prevalence and factors associated with DV amongst married women in urban and rural areas of Kano, Nigeria. Using a comparative cross-sectional study design, 493 married women were studied. Multistage sampling technique was used to select respondents and data collected using an adapted structured interviewer administered questionnaire. Analysis was done using SPSS vs 25. The overall prevalence of DV was 23%; of which less than a quarter of the urban (17%) and over three quarters of the rural (83%) married women experienced at least one form of DV. Most reported forms in the urban vs rural were: verbal abuse (in form of humiliation, insults and threatening to attack) 15% vs 83%; physical abuse (in form of push, slap, and arm twisting) 6% vs 28%. Older age (women > 45 years) [p=0.00, AOR=0.228, 95% CI=0.096-0.539], and husband’s non-smoking habit [p=0.00, AOR=0.226, 95% CI=0.110-0.467] were protective for the experience of domestic violence. DV was prevalent among married women particularly among those living in the rural area and the younger women. Women whose husbands engaged in smoking were more at risk. Efforts should be made to provide education and support for vulnerable women exposed to DV.

“…Con respecto a la violencia física, generalmente va acompañada de otros tipos de violencia (psicológica y sexual); es la más frecuente, dado que culturalmente se mantiene la ideología del machismo que proclama la superioridad del hombre sobre la mujer. En relación con el imc alto, la mayoría de los estudios la violencia física es la de más riesgo para desarrollar problemas de salud mental como depresión y ansiedad en respuesta de afrontamiento (26), que se pueden manifestar en conductas no saludables, entre las que se encuentran la inactividad física y el comer en exceso (14,36).…”

Objetivo: el propósito de esta revisión es conocer la evidencia científica existente de la relación entre la violencia contra la mujer (vcm) y su índice de masa corporal (imc) (alto y bajo).Síntesis del contenido: se realizó una revisión integradora de las publicaciones científicas que abordaron y relacionaran la vcm y el imc en diferentes bases de datos. Se consideraron los siete pasos de Cooper. Se analizaron por título, año de publicación, autores y fuente; finalmente, se estudiaron los aspectos metodológi-cos. Se identificaron 85 artículos y se excluyeron 67 por no cumplir con los criterios de inclusión; seis de los artí-culos incluidos en la revisión, reportaron correlación positiva y significativa entre la vcm con el imc alto (sobrepeso/obesidad). Asimismo, siete de los artículos refieren una relación significativa entre la vcm y el imc bajo, de tal manera que a mayor violencia contra la mujer, se presenta un imc más bajo en las mujeres.Conclusión: los resultados encontrados muestran la existencia escasa de literatura científica que aborde la temática de la vcm y el imc. Algunos estudios muestran la relación entre la vcm y el imc alto y bajo. Los resultados no son concluyentes, por lo que se requiere generar líneas de acción y atención a las mujeres receptoras de los diferentes tipos de violencia. Objective: the objective of this review is to know the existing scientific evidence of the relation between violence against women and their body mass index (bmi) (underweight, overweight/obese).
