Anemia and obesity are public health problems worldwide. The objective of the research was to determine the prevalence of nutritional anemia in overweight and obese older adults treated at the CLAS San Andrés Health Center - Pisco 2024. Methodology: It is an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, correlational study, with a sample of 79 older adults (AM) of both sexes. Anthropometric measurements were taken to determine overweight and obesity using Quetelet's formula. To determine the degrees of anemia, the cynomethahemoglobin colorimetric method was used. Results: 36.7% are overweight, 32.9% are obese I, and 30.4% are obese II, females have the highest percentages of obesity and overweight. There is a significant prevalence of nutritional anemia of 71% (mild anemia 38.0%, moderate anemia 16.5% and severe 16.5%), females have a higher percentage of anemia. 21.5% of overweight MA have anemia. The presence of mild, moderate and severe anemia is significant in older adults who are obese. There is a significant relationship between the degrees of anemia and the Body Mass Index (p < 0.05). Conclusion: It was concluded that the majority of overweight and obese older adults had a higher percentage of mild anemia.
