Abstract

Abstract: Worm infestation (STH) and nutritional status are ongoing health issues in Indonesia. Studies on their relationship are inconsistent, with some reporting a link and others finding none. This study aimed to determine the relationship between nutritional status and STH infection among 68 students at SD 19 Muhammadiyah in Medan City. This was an observational study using a cross-sectional design and total sampling. Nutritional status was determined using the CDC-NCHS 2000 growth curve, and STH infection was diagnosed using the Kato-Katz method. A total of 12 students (out of 68) were found to have an STH infection. Of the infected students, 47% suffered from moderate malnutrition, and 53% were well-nourished. The most prevalent STH species was Ascaris lumbricoides, followed by Trichuris trichiura and Hookworm. The statistical analysis using Fisher’s Exact Test yielded a p-value of 0.203 (p 0.05). The study concluded that there was no significant relationship between STH infection and the nutritional status of the students at 19 Muhammadiyah Elementary Schools.
