  1. Odds ratios in bold are significantly different to those of the reference category (P < 0.05). aEach variable is modelled separately for males and females; bIPV victimization at 21 years refers to at least one type IPV ever; cIPV victimization at 30 refers to at least one type IPV during last year; dDue to insufficient sample size, the analysis was not performed
  2. Abbreviations IPV Intimate partner violence, yr/fu year follow-up, OR:odds ratio, CI confidence interval
