Femicides are an increasing social problem worldwide. In this study, we aim to describe the trend of femicides in the prepandemic decade and characterize the femicide victims and their perpetrators. Methods. We assessed the trend of femicides in Peru during 2010\u20132019 and performed a cross-sectional study to analyze the femicides reported in 2019 using open data. Results. We analyzed 166 femicides reported in 24\/25 regions of Peru in 2019 and calculated a yearly incidence of 1.01 femicides per 100,000 women. This incidence level represents an increase of 38% compared to the mean annual incidence from 2010 to 2018 (0.74 femicides per 100,000 women). Most femicides occurred in urban areas (64%), through strangling\/asphyxiation (25.9%), stabbing (23%), and shooting (16%). Most victims were mothers (61%) 30 years old or over (51%). Most perpetrators have had a partner history with their victims (69%), 30 years old or over (62%), employed (57%), and consumed enablers (51%). Our regression analysis observed that the victim's age was associated with the perpetrator's age and partner history. Conclusions. Femicides are endemic in Peru, and the main characteristics of the victims and their perpetrators offer opportunities for tackling this social problem in Peru and similar low- to middle-income countries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/15404153231163324","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,13]],"date-time":"2023-03-13T05:45:24Z","timestamp":1678686324000},"page":"166-173","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Femicides and Victim's age-Associated Factors in Peru"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2100-7423","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonio M","family":"Quispe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Continental, Lima, Peru"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Victor","family":"Roman-Lazarte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Nacional Daniel Alcides Carri\u00f3n, Pasco, Peru"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3520-317X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Deysy K","family":"Cornelio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Nacional Hermilio Valdiz\u00e1n Medrano, Hu\u00e1nuco, Peru"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yohaida M","family":"Florez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Nacional del Altiplano, Puno, Peru"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abigail","family":"Romero Q","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Ricardo Palma, Lima, Peru"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luc\u00eda","family":"Vargas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Lima, Peru"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Claudia A","family":"Sedano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Neopl\u00e1sicas, Lima, Peru"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-15404153231163324","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7196\/SAMJ.3904"},{"key":"bibr2-15404153231163324","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12889-018-5118-1"},{"key":"bibr3-15404153231163324","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.healthplace.2020.102365"},{"key":"bibr4-15404153231163324","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.26633\/RPSP.2019.26"},{"key":"bibr5-15404153231163324","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/0102-311x00110718"},{"key":"bibr6-15404153231163324","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.93.7.1089"},{"key":"bibr7-15404153231163324","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2017-2289"},{"issue":"2","key":"bibr8-15404153231163324","first-page":"42","volume":"25","author":"Cruz Guisbert J.
