The research aimed to determine if there is a relationship between nutrition and anemia in hospitalized children under 1 year old at an EsSalud hospital in Punchana 2023. The study was quantitative with a non-experimental, descriptive, correlational, cross-sectional design. The study sample consisted of 35 children aged 6 to 11 months hospitalized in the pediatrics department of the III EsSalud hospital and their mothers, during the year 2023. Two instruments were applied: a questionnaire to assess the child's nutrition and a record sheet to identify the hospitalized child with anemia. The results highlight that 74.3% of children aged 6 to 11 months and 29 days hospitalized with anemia, 48.6% had an unhealthy diet. Likewise, it is observed that 25.7% did not have anemia, of which 20.0% had a healthy diet. An association was found by applying the non-parametric chi-square statistical test, estimating a p-value of 0.005, indicating a statistical relationship between complementary feeding and anemia. 48.6% of the children with anemia are related to inadequate complementary feeding. It is concluded that healthy feeding is related to anemia in the dimension of complementary feeding. Regarding responsive feeding, no relationship with anemia was evidenced in children under 1 year of age. This underscores the importance of continuing interventions for the prevention and control of anemia in hospitalized infants.
