Factors as presence of diarrhea (OR = 1.30), 12 months of life (OR: 3.33), not starting prenatal control (OR: 1.19), male gender (OR: 1.25), mother with anemia (OR: 1.75), mothers who are 15 to 24 (OR: 1.94), water well as a source of water (OR: 1.53), Aymara as mother tongue (OR: 2.31) were associated with anemia level.
