Poverty in Peru has been reduced, but cases of anemia remain very high. Iron deficiency anemia is about half of all causes of anemia cases, the other half is caused by inherited blood disorders or parasitic infections and malaria. We worked with the 2017 National Demographic Health Survey. The population was made up of children aged 0-59 months. The construction of the model proceeded in the following way, the individual characteristics (age, sex, birth number) and the proximal determinants such as place of origin, height, as well as an indicator variable of the mother such as educational level, together with the degrees of anemia (mild, moderate and severe). The results show The variables age of the child (p=0.000), altitude (p=0.000), were associated with severe anemia. The age of the child (p=0.000), a change between female or male sex (p=0.000), a change in birth order (p=0.025), change in urban or rural residence (p=0.005), the altitude (p=0.000), and the educational level of the mother (p=0.000), were associated with moderate anemia. The age of the child (p=0.000), a change between female or male sex (p=0.002), a change in birth order (p=0.003), change in urban or rural residence (p=0.000), the altitude (p=0.000), and the educational level of the mother (p=0.000), were associated with mild anemia. It is concluded with these results that these associated factors should be considered depending on the level of anemia.
