METHODS: Data from the National Injury Surveillance Program between 2006 and 2013 were used to analyze: 1) trend of violence proportion in injuries, 2) socio-demographic characteristics of the cases, 3)basic and clinic information on related violence. RESULTS: The proportion of victims of violence decreased during the past 8 years. The number of violence related cases in 2013 was 50 333, including 36 049 males and 14 284 females. Most cases had educational levels as junior (41.2%) or senior high schools (27.3%). 24.0% of the violence occurred between 22:00 PM and 02:59 AM. The proportions of domestic violence were 30.2% in the 0-4 age group and 28.5% in the 65- age group, both were higher than in the other age groups. CONCLUSION: Interventions on violence including children abuse and elderly abuse should be paid attention to.
