Anxiety and stress are the main mental disorders affecting university students, impacting their quality of life and school performance. The purpose of this research is to determine the factors that trigger stress and anxiety in students of the Economic-Administrative area of the Universidad Veracruzana, Xalapa area. A sample of 388 students was obtained by applying a two-stage cluster sampling.  The analysis of the information provided by the sample showed that Pearson's correlation, with 95% confidence, showed that anxiety depends 61.33% on stress, while the canonical correlation showed a higher percentage, identifying the relevant items.  In addition, it was found that affected women exceeded the percentage of men by more than 6.2 %, and the stress and anxiety triggers were: having a partner, working, having failed in some educational experience and having been a victim of an assault in the last six months. In addition, of the academic stressors identified, having failed a subject in the previous semester is 2 times more likely for the student to suffer from both diseases. Las enfermedades de carácter psicológico van en aumento, debido a que afectan a personas en el ámbito laboral, así como a la población estudiantil. La ansiedad y el estrés son trastornos mentales que afectan a los universitarios, reflejándose en su calidad de vida y en el rendimiento escolar. Esta investigación tiene como propósito determinar los factores detonantes del estrés y la ansiedad en los alumnos del área Económico-Administrativa de la Universidad Veracruzana zona Xalapa. Una muestra de 388 estudiantes fue obtenida mediante la aplicación de un muestreo por conglomerado bietápico.  El análisis brinda con una confianza del 95 % que la correlación de Pearson, que la ansiedad depende en un 61.33 % del estrés, mientras que la correlación canónica mostró un porcentaje mayor, identificándose los ítems relevantes.  Adicionalmente se obtuvo que las mujeres afectadas son más de un 6.2% sobre el porcentaje de hombres y los factores detonantes de estrés y ansiedad son: tener pareja, trabajar, haber reprobado alguna experiencia educativa y haber sido víctima de un asalto en los últimos seis meses. Además, de los estresores académicos identificados, el haber reprobado una materia el semestre anterior es 2 veces más probable que el alumno padezca ambas enfermedades.
