Abstract: The tendency of the prevalence of partner violence (VP) in representative samples is scarce. The objective is to analyze the trend of the prevalence of VP in men and women and identify the associated factors in Mexico. The data used come from the National Survey of Addictions 2011 and the National Survey of Drug, Alcohol and Tobacco Consumption 2016; a sample of 44,963 individuals was selected. By using Poisson models with Stata, we show that prevalence of PV was 15.58% in 2011 and 14.90% in 2016. The associated factors were being a woman (RR=1.09, IC95%0.99–1.19), alcohol consumption by the partner (RR=1.68, CI95% 1.54–1.84) and drug use by the partner (RR=2.80, CI95% 2.46–3.18). Single marital status (RR=0.66, 95% CI 0.56–0.78); having previous partners (RR=0.60, 95% CI 0.55–0.66); more years of living with a partner (RR=1.81, 95% CI (1.47– 2.23), living in an urban area (RR=1.18, 95% CI 1.05–1.33). Main conclusions display how prevalence of IPV has decreased mainly in the population that has higher family income. Factors associated with VP are similar in both sexes, so actions aimed at preventing this problem should include men and women.
