Introduction: Different publications report a higher prevalence of depression or anxiety among the LGTBI population, associated to the different factors. The Peruvian National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (INEI) carried out the first survey of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transvestite and intersex people (LGBTI) using a virtual questionnaire. The objective is to evaluate the factors associated with self-reported depression and/or anxiety among LGBTI people in Peru. Methods: Cross-sectional analytical study based the First Virtual Survey of LGTBI population in Peru 2017. The population included people resident throughout Peru, who were contacted via LGTBI associations in order to answer a virtual questionnaire, whose data was collected by the INEI. Prevalence ratios (PR) were obtained in crude and adjusted form using Poisson regression. Results: 23.4% self-reported having suffered depression or anxiety in the 12 months prior to the survey; finding association with age (PR 0.97 for each additional year), female sex at birth (PR 1.19), being bisexual with respect to being gay (PR 1.26), being non-binary with respect to being cis-gender (PR 1.23), not having a partner (PR 1.39), not having a job (PR 1.18), having suffered violence/discrimination at some time (PR 1.89), not having had family acceptance (PR 1.15) , and having carried out forced sexual labor (PR 1,84). Conclusions: The prevalence of depression and/or anxiety in the LGTBI population was high. Factors were found associated with self-report of depression and/or anxiety. This information can be used to highlight the mental health problems among the LGTBI population, and design interventions that address the modifiable factors.
