Objective. The objective of this study was to determine if there is an association between low weight according to gestational age and anemia at 6 months of postnatal life in preterm infants. Material and method. A retrospective cohort study was carried out. The study population consisted of 294 preterm infants with a gestational age greater than 32 weeks, attended at the Víctor Lazarte Echegaray Hospital. It was divided into two groups, the first with 147 small neonates for gestational age and the second consisting of 147 with adequate weight for gestational age. In both groups, hemoglobin levels were evaluated at the sixth month of postnatal life recorded in each clinical history. Results. The association between low weight for gestational age and anemia at 6 months of postnatal life was evidenced by means of the chi-square test (x2 = 10.679) with a value of p = 0.001 (p <0.005) and a Relative Risk (RR) of 1452 for a 95% CI (1,155 - 1,825). Conclusion. Low weight for gestational age is a risk factor for anemia at 6 months of postnatal life in preterm infants.
