Emotional and physical intimate partner violence (IPV) was significantly associated with increased risk of overweight/obesity, sexual IPV was significantly associated with increased risk of underweight (measured by body mass index), and controlling behavior was significantly associated with increased risk of anemia. IPV screening should be part of regular health care assessments, and clinicians should ensure services are available and offered.
