Introduction: Physical intimate partner violence against women is a public problem that affects physically and mentally women’s health and their children, being more likely to develop malnutrition, stunting and retarded development. Few studies describe the association between anemia in children and intimate partner violence. In this research, we propose that the exposure to physical violence caused by the partner towards women is associated with the presence of anemia in her last child between 6-59 months. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted with information from the ENDES of women aged 15-49 years who suffered physical violence in the last twelve months, with children between 6-59 months of age. A crude and adjusted generalized linear regression analysis was performed using prevalence ratios which were adjusted for confounding variables entered by epidemiological mechanism. The authors implemented a stratified analysis by age, 6-24 and 25-59 months to examine the variation between both groups. Results: Physical violence towards the mother [PR: 1.12, 95% CI: 1.05-120] was associated with the presence of anemia in children. Other risk factors were the rural area of residence, severe degree of anemia in the mother of children aged 6-24, and moderate anemia of mothers of children aged 25-59 months. Conclusions: There is an association between intimate partner violence against women and anemia in children aged 25 to 59 months. For this reason, the anemic syndrome in a child of this age may be related to the state of the mother's mental health, which is violated by her partner. This work is useful to consider other factors influencing child health.
