Introduction: Food Security encompasses four dimensions: Availability, Access, Utilization and Stability. Anemia is a prevalent disease in Peruvian children under 5 years old. The relationship between food security and anemia continues to be widely studied in different approaches. Objective: To evaluate the association between food security and the occurrence of anemia in children under 5 years old in 2019, regionally and nationally. Material and Method: Cross-sectional analytical study, secondary to databases. Results: Regarding the bivariate analysis, a higher total income (soles) was observed in children who did not have anemia compared to those who did, with 809 and 783 soles, respectively (p<0.001). Likewise, it was found that children without anemia have a higher intake of iron per family member than children with anemia (6.66 mg vs 6.5 mg) (p<0.001). Regarding the multivariate analysis, the safety of water measured by the chlorine test, the adequate intake of iron per family member and the production of tracer foods not affected by climate change increase by 0.63 g/dl (CI: 0.25-1.00). , 0.12 g/dl (CI: 0.02-0.23) and 0.08 g/dl (CI: 0.1-0.10) height-adjusted hemoglobin levels, respectively. Conclusions: Food security in its utilization and stability dimensions positively affects the hemoglobin level adjusted for height and, therefore, the occurrence of anemia in children under 5 years of age in Peru for the year 2019.
