To examine individual, household, and community-level factors associated with intimate partner violence among women of reproductive age using data from the 2024 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey.
Analyzed a weighted sample of 20,202 Nigerian women aged 15–49 years from the 2024 NDHS dataset.
Performed descriptive statistics, bivariate analyses, and multivariable logistic regression to calculate adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals.
The overall prevalence of intimate partner violence was 23.4% (95% CI: 22.4%–24.4%).
Marital status was strongly associated with violence, showing higher odds among separated (AOR = 6.02, 95% CI: 4.51–8.02) and divorced women (AOR = 5.56, 95% CI: 3.86–8.02), while Muslim women had lower odds compared to Catholics (AOR = 0.45, 95% CI: 0.37–0.57).
Risk was elevated among women aged 20–29 years, those with primary or secondary education, and larger households, whereas higher household wealth was protective alongside regional disparities.
