Introduction: Hemoglobin is responsible for the oxygen transport in many physiological processes. The most important element is iron, which is modified in the athlete by increasing blood volume and hematopoiesis through exercise. In sports, evidence suggest female gender is associate with anemia. In Peru, there are not enough evidence about association between and gender in Peruvian athletes. Methods: The database of the National Biomedical Services Directorate of the Peruvian Institute of Sport was used for the period from January to December 2013. Numerical variables were evaluated using the Student’s t- test or the Mann-Whitney U-test, depending on the normality of the variables. Categorical variables were evaluated using the Chi-square test. Crude and adjusted Prevalence Ratios were calculated using the Poisson regression with robust error variance, to assess the association between gender and anemia. Results: 633 athletes between 18 and 35 years old were analyzed being mostly male (68.4%). Variables included in the bivariate model were gender, sports age and iron supplementation, which were also included in the multivariate model, and an association between anemia and sports age (p = 0.01) was found. No association between gender and anemia was found (RPa= 0,96; 95% IC 0,60-1,40; p=0,85) However, the prevalence of anemia was above 15% (17,9% men and 16,8% women). The main result was that there is no significant difference when comparing the prevalence of anemia in men and women (17,9% and 16.8%). Conclusions: There is not association between anemia and gender in members of the IPD in 2013.
