Parasitoses intestinais se associam a menores índices de peso e estatura em escolares de baixo estrato socioeconômico

Abstract: OBJETIVO: Avaliar a prevalência de parasitoses intestinais, correlacionando-as com os fatores socioeconômicos e ambientais, peso, estatura e hemoglobina, em crianças de dois estratos socioeconômicos, no município de Osasco (SP). MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal, comparando 84 crianças de seis a dez anos, residentes em área sem saneamento básico e moradia precária, com 35 crianças de escola particular no mesmo município, que possuíam boas condições socioeconômicas e de moradia. Excluíram-se aquelas com diarreia há m… Show more

“…As condições de vida precárias a que muitas crianças estão sujeitas, a falta de hábitos corretos de higiene pessoal, o frequente contato com locais possivelmente contaminados, como solo, água e areia [8], além de um sistema imunológico imaturo [6,9], favorecem o desenvolvimento de parasitoses.…”

“…The homogeneity and frequency of these inadequate characteristics in the study area contributed to the significant occurrence of intestinal parasites, even in early childhood. Other studies have observed that such conditions are determinant to increase parasitic intestinal infections in different places [7,3,28]. …”

“…Households within large clusters have higher prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections than smaller clusters due to larger possibility of contamination when with sewage deficit, contaminated soil, poor water quality, malnutrition, limited host resistance, poorer socio-economic status and poor hygiene conditions [7,3]. …”

“…The studies suggest that geo-helminths represent a major public health problem and are an important indicator of the sanitary conditions in which a certain population lives. The association between the prevalence of intestinal parasitic diseases with socioeconomic and environmental factors was reported in the most of researches like: children from slums [71] or residing in townships with a low HDI in the N and NE regions, especially in rural areas [74]; households with no proper waste management and no solid residue collection [78]; the unhealthy condition to which this population is subjected [72,87], with a direct relationship with low maternal schooling [81,95] and low income family [80,[85][86][87][88][89][90][91]95]. The higher prevalence of Ascaris lumbricoides, Giardia duodenalis, Trichuris trichiura and hookworm infections in children living in contaminated environments [75,90,92,93] with inadequate daily caloric intake [94] may result in hospitalizations due to diarrheal disease [79], compromising their future anthropometric status [76,94].…”
