Introduction The present study aimed to evaluate the social determinants that better explain the prevalence of childhood anemia, which is still high in Peru. Materials and methods Data registered in the Demographic and Family Health Survey (ENDES) were included. Absolute and relative inequality was calculated for each year from 2004 to 2017 with consolidated data. In addition, the blood hemoglobin data registered through individual data for the years 2010 and 2017 was obtained. Finally, a decomposition analysis of Oaxaca - Blinder was carried out to establish that social determinants explain the inequality gap in the distribution of the average of the hemoglobin between rich and poor for these two years. Results The decomposition analysis of Oaxaca identified that the gap between the average hemoglobin between the rich and the poor was explained by the differences in the variables maternal education (11%), region (14%), age group (2%) and of other variables not studied (46%) in 2017. In 2010 the gap is explained only by the region (23%) and of other variables not involved in the study (60%). Furthermore, absolute and relative inequality has not changed substantially either before or during the implementation of the “National Plan 2014-2016“. Conclusion The inequality gap on the prevalence of anemia remained high during the time studied. Maternal education, region and age group explained the inequality in hemoglobin averages.
