Objective: To assess the association between the excess weight and serum retinol deficiency in Peruvian children from 6 to 59 months old who participated in the 2007-2010 National Monitoring of Nutritional Indicators (MONIN) survey. Materials and methods: The present investigation is a secondary analysis for the database of the National Monitoring of Nutritional Indicators (MONIN 2007-2010). The subpopulation was made up by 530 study subjects presenting complete data for the variables of interest (sex, age, area of residence, poverty indicator using the UBN (Unsatisfied Basic Needs), breastfeeding, vitamin A supplementation, vitamin A intake, nutritional status and serum retinol levels). In order to classify a subject with Vitamin A deficiency (VAD), the cut-off point established by the World Health Organization was applied, which establishes that values less than 20 µg/dl are an indicator of VAD. Results: The prevalence of Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) was 9.8%. Regarding nutritional status, we found that 8.4% of the study subjects were overweight. The majority of children were distributed between the age groups of 36 to 47 months and 48 to 59 months (30.4% and 30.3%, respectively). Only 6.3% of the total children received vitamin A supplementation, and 35% did not meet the recommended vitamin A intake. In the bivariate analysis, the 24 to 35 months and 36 to 47 months age groups showed significant p-values. Conversely, overweight was not associated with vitamin A deficiency (RR = 0.97; (0.83, 1.14)). Conclusion: No association was found among excess weight and serum retinol deficiency in Peruvian children from 6 to 59 months old who participated in the MONIN 2007-2010. This deficiency is automatically associated with the age groups from 24 to 47 months old.
