    Objective: To determine the relationship between the level of knowledge and dietary practices regarding iron deficiency anemia in mothers of children aged 6 to 35 months at the La Tulpuna Health Center. A quantitative, correlational, and cross-sectional study was conducted, with a sample of 45 mothers. The results show a positive and significant correlation between the level of knowledge about iron deficiency anemia and the dietary practices of mothers with children aged 6 to 35 months (Spearman's Rho = 0.405; p < 0.01). Furthermore, a significant relationship was found between the dimensions of basic knowledge, causes, consequences, and diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia and the dietary practices of the mothers (p < 0.05). However, no correlation was found between the dimension of consequences and prevention of iron deficiency anemia and the dietary practices of mothers with children aged 6 to 35 months (p > 0.05). Additionally, a deficient level of knowledge about iron deficiency anemia was found in 55.6% of the surveyed mothers, and inadequate dietary practices were found in 53.3% of them. In conclusion, there is a direct and significant relationship between the variables of knowledge about iron deficiency anemia and the dietary practices of mothers with children aged 6 to 35 months.
