The study sought to determine the degree of relationship between parity and anxious symptomatology in women beneficiaries of social programs in Puente Piedra and Los Olivos. The design was transversal and explanatory. The following instruments were applied: New Anxiety Scale (NEA-72) and a sociodemographic data sheet. The sample consisted of 230 women, of whom 77.4% presented clinically non-significant anxiety (CNSA) and 22.6% clinically significant anxiety (CSA). Having three to four children increased 2.16 times the possibility of having CSA, as opposed to having one to two children (OR: 3.16; 95% CI: 1.52-6.54). Also, having reached higher education (92.3%) is related to CNSA. Therefore, there is a direct relationship between parity and anxious symptomatology, a situation that can be aggravated by a low level of schooling. However, a high level of instruction could be a protective factor for CSA.
