Introduction: Neuropsychiatric disease represents the first major cause of disability adjusted life years in Peru. This dissertation analyzes the data referring to anxiety and depression from the 2016 Peruvian National Penitentiary Census. On 2016, mental health problems were the first cause of years lost to disability in Peru. Internationally, both anxiety and depression have high prevalence among inmates. Objectives: Establish association between depression and anxiety in relation to Early Life Stressors (ELS) in the Peruvian imprisoned population, additional factors associated with depression and anxiety were analyzed. Materials and methods: Secondary analysis of the data from the 2016 Peruvian National Penitentiary Census. The assessed outcomes are anxiety and depression; while the exposure variables are ELS, experienced between the ages of 5-12, such as physical abuse, tutor’s alcohol or illegal drugs consumption, neglect. Multivariable analysis has been executed, through the calculus of adjusted prevalence ratios using Poisson's regression model with a confidence interval (CI) of 95%. Results: Association between ELS and self-reported depression (PR 1.41, CI 1.34-1.49, p<0,05). Similarly, association between ELS and self-reported anxiety was found (PR 1.35, CI 1.28 – 1.42, p<0,05). Conclusions: This paper finds significant association between both mental health issues. The acknowledgement of these factors is important inasmuch as the understanding of them, which may help the optimization of screening methods and later treatment of the imprisoned population.
