Motivation for the study. In 2024, the World Health Organization modified the cut-off points that define anemia. The magnitude of the change in the prevalence of anemia in children aged 6-35 months in Peru, compared to the 2001 guideline, is unknown. Main findings. Between 2009 and 2023, we found significant and heterogeneous differences (a) nationally, (b) between and within regions, and (c) depending on the calculation technique (table or equation). Implications. The rationale for the 2024 guideline, while much better than that for the 2001 guideline, is not sufficient. The new guideline should be adopted with caution, both in individual care and population-related decisions
