“…Following the WHO and prior research on IPV in Cebu, we considered three categories of IPV: physical, emotional, and controlling behavior (Julio et al, 2023; WHO, 2013). Physical IPV was measured using a modified version of the Conflict Tactics Scale (Straus, 1990) and was indicated by whether participants answered yes to any of the following questions referring to their current partner: ever had something thrown at them, was ever pushed, grabbed, or shoved, ever hit (not with anything), ever hit with something hard, or ever harmed enough to need medical attention.…”

“…IPV is a highly prevalent social stressor in this population, as the estimated prevalence is 44% for the Central Visayas region where Cebu is located, compared to a recent global estimate of 27% (National Statistics Office & ICF Macro, 2009; Sardinha et al, 2022). As a result, it has been the focus of several studies, including risk factors for exposure (Ansara & Hindin, 2009; Hindin & Adair, 2002; Tsai, 2017) and child consequences, including cognitive development, intergenerational transmission of IPV, and depressive symptoms (Hindin & Gultiano, 2006; Julio et al, 2023; Kim et al, 2020; Mandal & Hindin, 2015). However, prior studies have shown chronic low‐grade inflammation in this population is lower compared with US data, due to lower adiposity and greater infectious exposures in early life, suggesting it might not be associated with social stressors like IPV (Chiang et al, 2022; McDade et al, 2008; McDade et al, 2009; McDade et al, 2010; McDade, Hoke, et al, 2013).…”

ObjectivesRecent discussions in human biology have highlighted how local ecological contexts shape the relationship between social stressors and health across populations. Chronic low‐grade inflammation has been proposed as a pathway linking social stressors to health, with evidence concentrated in high‐income Western contexts. However, it remains unclear whether this is an important pathway in populations where prevalence is lower due to lower adiposity and greater infectious exposures. To investigate this further, we tested associations between multiple types of intimate partner violence (IPV), a highly prevalent stressor and health crisis globally, and C‐reactive protein (CRP), a commonly used measure of chronic low‐grade inflammation, in Cebu, Philippines. For reference, we compared results for CRP to depression, a well‐established and consistently observed health outcome of IPV.MethodsData came from 1601 currently partnered women (ages 35–69 years) as part of the Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey. IPV exposures included physical, emotional, and controlling behavior. Depression scores were measured using a modified version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies‐Depression Scale for this population, whereas plasma CRP was measured from overnight‐fasted morning blood samples.ResultsAll three types of IPV were associated with a higher depression score. However, none of the IPV measures were associated with CRP. In a post hoc interaction test, emotional IPV became positively associated with CRP as waist circumference increased above the mean.ConclusionsOur results suggest a complex relationship between social stressors and chronic low‐grade inflammation, which is likely dependent on the population‐specific context of lifestyle and environmental factors.

“…Akter and Chindarkar (2019) stated that maternal vulnerability to IPV hinders children's human capital formation, such as school attainment and test scores. Julio et al (2023) indicated that maternal exposure to physical violence and controlling behavior by an intimate partner affects children's physical development and cognitive abilities. In addition, if women were exposed to interparental violence in childhood, they are more likely to justify IPV later in life (Aboagye et al 2023) and become victims of violence perpetrated by their intimate partners (Hindin et al 2008;Solanke 2018).…”

Male-perpetrated intimate partner violence (IPV) is a severe human rights violation that negatively affects women’s well-being worldwide. Although many studies have examined the factors influencing IPV, few have investigated the changes in attitudes toward IPV during rapid economic growth. Therefore, this study aimed to clarify changes in attitudes toward husband-on-wife violence by gender, from 2007 to 2017, using individual data from the Indonesia Demographic and Health Surveys. The estimation results revealed that, despite being more accepting of IPV, young women, women living in rural areas other than Java and Bali, and women belonging to lower social classes have significantly increased their negative attitudes toward IPV over the past decade. Although negative attitudes toward IPV have increased significantly among men living in eastern Indonesia, men in their teens, 20s, and 30s and those living in Sumatra have become more accepting of IPV. This suggests that the overall awareness of IPV resistance among men has not increased. The acceptance of IPV is more prevalent among employed women in the middle and lower socioeconomic strata than among their unemployed counterparts. However, the reverse trend has become clearer among women in the upper strata over the past decade.
