%X Adjustment of Peruvian family violence to the psychobiogeographic theory of mental health The psychobiogeographic theory, considering the extent of exposure to ultraviolet radiation, predicts a latitudinal variation of mental health. An analysis of questionnaire responses from 12,604 women in the Peru 2000 Demographic and Family Health Survey was undertaken to test the hypothesis that physical and psychological violence exerted by husbands and parents against women increases with distance from the Equator. The observed effects of latitude were consistent with the theory in the Pacific desert, Sierra steppe, Puna, and Yunga sites, but not in the Amazon eco-region, which could be due to an excess of vitamin D produced north of 5o 50＊ S. The theory＊s hypotheses concerning urbanization and the Humboldt Current were supported, but the one on altitude was not Considerando el grado de exposici車n a radiaci車n ultravioleta, la teor赤a psicob赤ogeogr芍fica predice una variaci車n latitudinal de la salud mental. Respuestas de 12 604 mujeres en la Encuesta Demogr芍fica y de Salud Familiar Per迆 2000 fueron analizadas para determinar si la violencia f赤sica y psicol車gica ejercida por esposos y padres aumenta con la distancia al ecuador. Los efectos de la latitud fueron consistentes con la teor赤a en el desierto del Pac赤fico, la estepa serrana, la puna, y la eco-regi車n Yunga, no as赤 en la Amazon赤a, tal vez por la producci車n excesiva de vitamina D al norte de 5o 50＊ S. No se hall車 efectos de la altura, pero los de la urbanizaci車n y la corriente de Humboldt fueron los predichos.
