Women experiencing recent IPV (19.1%) reported worse physical and mental health than women not reporting IPV. Compared with women not reporting IPV, women experiencing recent IPV had higher odds of poor functional health status (Adj OR=4.5, 95%\u2009CI 3.2 to 6.3), back pain (Adj OR=2.0, 95%\u2009CI 1.4 to 2.9), incontinence (Adj OR=1.8, 95%\u2009CI 1.2 to 2.6), depressive symptoms (Adj OR=4.9, 95%\u2009CI 3.2 to 7.5), anxiety (Adj OR=5.1, 95%\u2009CI 3.0 to 8.6) and post-traumatic stress symptoms (Adj OR=7.2, 95%\u2009CI 4.6 to 11.1) at 10 years. Women with past IPV at 1 and\/or 4 years (15.7% of the cohort) also had higher odds of physical and mental health problems.
