Objective: To determine the factors associated with anemia in children from 6 to 36 months at the Toribia Castro Health Center, Lambayeque 2020. Methodology: The study was of type analytical observational with a cross-sectional design, the population consisted of 1046 children from 6 to 36 months treated at the Health Center; Taking into account an expected frequency of 40.1%, a sample of 273 children was calculated, who were selected through simple random sampling. In the statistical analysis, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used in order to verify the normal distribution for the quantitative variables of the data. In the other hand, absolute and relative frequencies were presented for qualitative variables. Chi-square and Fisher tests were used for bivariate analysis. Results: The sample size was 257, the frequency of anemia was 54.5%; 50% of them were less than or equal to 10 months old with an interquartile range between 7 and 12 months. In the bivariate analysis, the variables gestational anemia, consumption of foods with iron and the educational level of the guardian turned out to be statistically significant (P<0.05). In relation to clinical characteristics, it was found that 64.2% of them fit their CRED controls, 89.9% receive iron supplements and there is no significant difference in anemia when it comes to immunizations, nutritional status, EDAS, respiratory or parasitic infections. It was also shown that there is no statistically significant difference between anemia in children from 6 to 36 months and socioeconomic, sociodemographic factors and gestational characteristics of the mother. Conclusions: The frequency of anemia was 54.5%, with mild anemia being the most common type; associated factors were gestational anemia, insufficient consumption of foods rich in iron and the guardian’s educational level. Children whose mothers had gestational anemia are 34% more likely to have anemia; likewise, children who consume food rich in iron daily are 47% less likely to present anemia in comparison with those who consume such foods every two days.
