    The aim of this research was to determine the relationship between hemoglobin levels and nutritional status in children under 5 years old attending the María Auxiliadora Hospital from January to March 2020. The methodology was hypothetical-deductive, quantitative, correlational, and observational, involving a population of 554 children under 5 years old who attended the María Auxiliadora Hospital during the period from January to March 2020. A data collection form and Spearman’s rho coefficient test were used. The results showed that 55.6% of the children were ≤ 1 year old, 51.9% were male, 39.2% were from San Juan de Miraflores, 77.4% had normal hemoglobin levels, and 22.6% had anemia. Additionally, all presented a normal nutritional status in terms of weight for age (89.2%), height for age (85%), and weight for height (87.4%). There was no relationship found between hemoglobin levels and weight for age (p=0.900, Rho=-0.005), height for age (p=0.427, Rho=-0.034), or weight for height (p=0.899, Rho=0.005). The conclusions indicate that no significant relationship exists between hemoglobin levels and nutritional status in children under 5 years old attended at the María Auxiliadora Hospital in 2020.
