The objective of this study was to find the risk factors for poor adherence to multimicronutrient supplementation (MMN) in children 6 to 35 months of age. A secondary database of sentinel surveillance carried out during the years 2009-2011 in the regions of Apurímac, Ayacucho and Huancavelica by the National Center for Epidemiology, Prevention and Disease Control of Perú (CDC) was analyzed. Demographic data was included in addition to other variables that were collected month by month during the surveillance. These are if they received nutritional counseling, if they attended the food preparation demonstration session with MMN, if they perceive any improvement in the child, if the child presented any adverse event related to MMN consumption, if they received home visits, and the food in which the MMNs were added. Regression of generalized estimating equations (GEE) was used for statistical analysis. The results that were found are that attending the demonstration session (p = 0.005), that the child presents adverse events related to the ingestion of MMN during the first six months of supplementation (p <0.001) and adding MMN in liquid foods (p = 0.001) decrease adherence to supplementation by 1.27%, 17.00% and 1.51% respectively. Residing in Huancavelica (p <0.001) and having the mother notice the child more awake (p = 0.039) increases adherence by 2.51% and 0.95% respectively. We conclude that interventions that address these risk factors should be performed, and we recommend that further studies be conducted in this area.
