Background: Migrants have limited access to healthcare and are particularly vulnerable to health problems like chronic diseases. Considering the massive migration from Venezuela to Peru, the aim of this study is to assess the association of sociodemographic factors with receiving treatment for chronic diseases among Venezuelan migrants according to “Encuesta Dirigida a la Población Venezolana que Reside en el País” - ENPOVE 2018. Methods: A cross-sectional study based on a secondary analysis from ENPOVE 2018 was conducted. We included all Venezuelan migrants ≥18 years old with chronic diseases of any kind. The outcome was to receive treatment for the chronic disease that the patient suffers. Crude and adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) were obtained using Poisson regression corrected by complex sampling. Results: We included 865 migrants with chronic diseases; from whom, 21.98% received treatment. Mean age was 36.6 years old, 41.8% were male, and 92.71% did not have health insurance. Receiving treatment was associated with being widow/divorced/ex-partner (aPR:1.87; 95%CI:1.16-3.03) compared with being married or in a partnership. Having health insurance increased the probability of receiving treatment (aPR:1.85; 95%CI:1.19-2.88). For chronic metabolic diseases, receiving treatment was only associated with having health insurance (aPR:2.26; 95%CI:1.17-4.39). Conclusion: Having health insurance was associated with receiving treatment for any chronic disease and for metabolic chronic diseases. These results highlight the need of offering health insurance to vulnerable populations, like migrants.
