Abstract

Soil-transmitted helminth infect 1.5 billion people or 24% of the world population widespread in the tropical and subtropical. Soil-transmitted helminth infections will affect income (intake), gastrointestinal (digestive), absorption (absorbs), and metabolism of food, and thus it will affect the nutritional status of children. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship of soiltransmitted helminth infections and nutritional status. This study was a cross sectional study. A study was conducted on 72 students at SDN 02 Ulakan Tapakis, Padang Pariaman December 2014 until May 2015. The fecal examination was performed by direct smear in the Parasitology Laboratory, Faculty of Medicine UNAND. The nutritional status of children was measured by the weight and age index. The results showed that the frequency of soil-transmitted helminth infections was 36.1%. By species, soil-transmitted helminth species most commonly found are Ascaris lumbricoides by 25%. By weight and age index, children who belong to poor nutrition, which is 30.6%, while according to height and age index, which belongs to the children and teenagers by 40.3%. children who are underweight by weight and height index equals to 19.4%. Most of the children were positively infected by soil-transmitted helminth have normal nutritional status if viewed by indices of weight/age, height/age and weight/height. After the statistical analysis, it was found that there was no significant correlation between the incidence of infection of soil-transmitted helminth nutritional status based on weight / age (p = 0.193), height/age (p = 0.324) and weight / height (p = 0.783).
