Objectives:
To describe the prevalence status of violence and its prevention in China, and to provide reference for the development of strategies regarding violence prevention.
Methods:
Violence mortality data between 2006 and 2015 were obtained from the national disease/death surveillance data set in 2006-2015. Data on violence-related medical cases were collected from the 2015 National Injury Surveillance System. The laws and policies about violence prevention and violence prevention programmes in China were described.
Results:
Violence mortality declined by 57.02% during 2006-2015 from 1.21/100 000 to 0.52/100 000. Violent death rate in males peaked in the age group 25-29 years (1.05/100 000) and it was low in the age group <15 years. Female violence mortality rate peaked during infancy (0.54/100 000), aged 25-29 (0.53/100 000) and age above 85 (0.98/100 000). The laws and policies about violence prevention were more perfect, while most prevention programmes were limited in scale and duration.
Conclusions:
The mortality of violence declined in China during 2006-2015. It is necessary to conduct gender-specific prevention strategies and improve the data collection and prevention service.
