Resumen:
Objectives: To analyze the relationship among the nutritional status, enteroparasitoses and socio-environmental conditions in children from Aristóbulo del Valle, Misiones. Methods: A cross-sectional anthropometrical and parasitological study was made in children from both sexes between 6 to 11 years old of public school from Municipality of Aristóbulo del Valle. NCHS was emplo - yed as reference in the analysis of undernutrition, and IOTF for the excess of weight. The parasitological analysis was realized by faecal samples and anal brushes. Socio-environmental conditions were evaluated through structured interviews. Results: The nutritional status indicated higher chronic undernutrition (7.5%) than underweight and wasting, and higher overweight than obesity (9.8%). Children showed high percentage of parasitism (86%) and Blastocystis hominis, Enterobius vermicularis and Giardia lamblia were the more prevalent species. Most families of these children live in precarious constructions made out of wood and/or masonry, with limited access to public services, high unemployment levels and a basic educational level of parents. Conclusions: The results obtained indicate the impact of the socio-economic, educational and sanitary impairment, in the children health from a sector Aristóbulo del Valle population, that entails to the coexistence of undernutrition, overweight and parasitic infections. parasitological study was made in children from both sexes between 6 to 11 years old of public school from Municipality of Aristóbulo del Valle.
