    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2021-01-12) Guardia Cueva, Pedro Anthony; Lozada Urbano, Michelle Fatima
    Purpose: The study aimed to assess how child violence affects anemia in households with children under five years old. The study was cross-sectional, using the database from the Demographic and Family Health Survey (ENDES) 2019. Independent variables evaluated included the prevalence of emotional, physical, and sexual violence inflicted by caregivers on minors. On the other hand, the dependent variable was the incidence of anemia. Results: The findings indicated that 51% of boys suffer some type of violence: physical (556/18), psychological (556/340), or both (556/198). Similarly, 49% of girls suffer some type of violence: physical (535/11), psychological (535/344), or both (535/180). Regarding children with anemia who suffer from physical (284/4), psychological (284/195), or both types of violence (284/85), no association between violence against children and anemia was demonstrated (p>0.00). Conclusion: The study did not demonstrate an association between child violence and anemia.
