Objectives: To establish sociodemographic and reproductive factors associated with unwanted additional fertility (UAF) in Peru, as measured in the 2018 Demographic and Health Survey (DHS). Methods: An observational, analytical cross-sectional study was carried out based on Peru’s 2018 DHS. UAF is a variable that was created by subtracting the desired fertility from the obtained fertility. Then, it was categorized as present (positive) or absent (negative or null). Multivariable analysis was done through a Poisson regression, both crude and adjusted. Results: This study included 6944 women between 40 and 49 years old, with a mean age of 44,3. We found a prevalence of UAF of 72,5% (CI95%: 70,4%-74,4%), mainly in the coastal region and in urban areas. In the adjusted model it was found that, belonging to the top welfare quintile (aPR: 0,85; CI95%: 0,76-0,95) was associated with less probability of UAF when compared with the intermediate quintile. On the other hand, coming from rural areas (aPR: 1,07; CI95%: 1,01-1,14), was associated with increased UAF risk. Conclusions: The prevalence of UAF in Peruvian women from 40 to 49 years old who responded to DHS 2018 is high. Coming from rural areas is associated with a higher chance of UAF, whereas belonging to the top welfare quintile is associated with lower UAF probability.
