The CDC’s report was based on over 18,000 telephone interviews in the U.S. and found that roughly 4.7% of men had been victims of intimate partner physical violence in the previous 12 months, compared with 4.0% women. About 35.6% of women and 28.5% of men have experienced physical violence, rape and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime.
