Abstract	Introduction: The aims of this study were to determine the iron-deficiency anemia prevalence per dynamic and static component and thus identify sports with the highest prevalence of iron-deficiency anemia, and to determine the association between sports, sex, age and iron-deficiency anemia. Material and methods: Observational study and cross-sectional analytic. The database of the National Biomedical Services Directorate of the Peruvian Institute of Sport was used for the period from January to December 2013. Athletes aged 18 – 35 were selected from a total universe of 1833 athletes. Numerical variables were evaluated using the Student’s t- test or the Mann-Whitney U-test, depending on the normality of the variables. Categorical variables were evaluated using the χ 2 test. Crude and adjusted Prevalence Ratios were calculated using the Poisson regression with robust error variance, to assess the association between sex and iron-deficiency anemia. Results: 633 athletes were analyzed, being mostly male (68.4%). Variables included in the bivariate model were sex, sports age and iron supplementation, which were also included in the multivariate model, and an association between iron-deficiency anemia and sports age (p = 0.01) was found. No association between sex and iron-deficiency anemia was found (RPa= 0.96; 95%CI: 0.60-1.40; p=0.85). However, the prevalence of iron-deficiency anemia was above 15% (17.9% men and 16.8% women). The main result was that there is no significant difference when comparing the prevalence of iron-deficiency anemia between men and women (17.9% and 16.8%). Conclusions: Higher prevalence of iron-deficiency anemia was found in sports with high static and dynamic component. There is not association between iron-deficiency anemia and sex in athletes from the Peruvian Institute of Sport in 2013.
