Background: Approximately, one in three Peruvian children aged 6 to 59 months have anemia. Maternal depression, which may be disabling and affect the proper care of children, is associated with chronic malnutrition of their children. In the same way, chronic malnutrition in children is associated with children anemia Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate if there is an association between depressive symptoms of mothers with the presence of anemia in their children. Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study of the Peruvian Demographic Health Survey 2015, which is nationally representative. Depressive symptoms were measured with the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) using a score of 10 as cut-off. The presence of anemia was measured using HemoCue® and was considered positive when hemoglobin was less than 11 g/dL. Crude and adjusted prevalence ratios (PR and aPR) were calculated with 95% confidence intervals, using generalized linear models of the Poisson family. Results: We analyzed 6683 mother-child binomials. The prevalence of anemia in the children was 28.7% [95% CI: 27.3-30.2]. and that of depressive symptoms in the mother of 6.9% [95% CI:6,1-7,9]. We did not find statistically significant association between the two main variables in the bivariate analysis nor in the different multivariate models (RPa: 1.05, 95% CI: 0.85-1.30). Our results show no association between maternal depressive symptoms and anemia in the child. Conclusions: We found no association between maternal depressive symptoms and anemia in their children aged 6 to 59 months in the bivariate, multivariate, scatter plot or stratum analysis. The prevalence of maternal depressive symptoms and anemia in their child remain high in the sample. We suggest to continue the study of this possible association and the multifactorial anemia model with prospective studies.
