This study aims to compare the characteristics of violence notifications between the LGBT and other populations, which occurred in the state of Rio de Janeiro from 2015 to 2021. This is an observational epidemiological study of the repeated panels type, based on data of notification of violence, occurred in the age group of 18 to 59 years, made available by the state of Rio de Janeiro. 114,093 notifications were eligible, with only 2.8% referring to the LGBT population. However, there was an increase in the proportion of notifications in this population (β = 0.46; p < 0.001), reaching 4.5% in 2021. Most notifications of self-inflicted and interpersonal violence occurred among the youngest from 18 to 39 years and blacks, being proportionally higher among the LGBT population (p < 0.001). Physical violence was the most reported (90.5%). Notification of torture (2%) and sexual violence (8%) were proportionally higher in this population (p < 0.001), but torture showed a slight decline in the period (β = -0.19; p = 0.039). The expansion of notification filling, beyond the health institutions, could contribute to the reduction of underreporting and, consequently, give greater visibility to the violence experienced, in particular by the LGBT population
