This study assessed the geohelminth and nutritional status of preschoolers in a periurban community of Ogun state.
Fresh stool specimens were collected for laboratory analysis, processed using ether concentration method, and examined under the microscope for geohelminth ova.
Demographic characteristics and daily nutrient intake of children were subjectively assessed during an interview session with parents, following anthropometric data collection.
Data obtained were analysed using a statistical software for Windows.
Nutritional indicators such as underweight, stunting, and wasting were computed from anthropometric data.
Results showed an overall prevalence of 39.2% and 12.4% for Ascariasis and Hookworm infection, respectively, with no significant difference (P>0.05) between the sexes.
Prevalence of nutritional indicators was 52.6%, 35.1%, 34.0%, and 9.3% for underweight, stunting, wasting, and thinness conditions, respectively.
A good proportion of the malnourished preschoolers were free of Ascaris infection but infected with Hookworm parasite.
The adverse effect of geohelminth infection cannot still be ignored in impaired growth, reduced survival, poor development, and cognitive performance of preschoolers.
Therefore promotion of adequate health education program on measures of preventing geohelminth infections is needed.
