It was a descriptive and transversal research where we tested a group of mothers (173), who attended the medical center. The research left us interesting numbers: 34.7% are young mothers, among 18 and 25 years old. 37 % could successfully finish their high school education. 64.0 % only have 1 or 2 children. 76.0% are Quechua and Spanish speaking people. 70.7 % is the level of unemployment. 65.3% live with their partners but they are not married. 82.6% has a very low 'basic' knowledge about Ferropenic Anemia. 10.7% has a good knowledge about Ferropenic Anemia. 6.7% has a very good knowledge about Ferropenic Anemia 92% of the mothers, do bad practice and only 8% does it correctly. Therefore we came to the conclusion that the majority of the mothers who visit this medical center, has no knowledge about this illness (Ferropenic Anemia), its treatment and its consequences afterwards, which is also a negative sign to prevent from Anemia in under five-year old children. The lack of knowledge makes them make mistakes and the incorrect practice to prevent from Anemia. A good example is, when the mothers provide their children with the wrong food, not enough or as frequent as it should be done, therefore they don't cover the nutritional requirements.
