Objective: "To determine the relationship between intestinal parasitosis and nutritional status in children aged 3 to 5 years." Methodology: Hypothetical-deductive, quantitative, basic research, descriptive, cross-sectional, correlational level study. Results: According to the results of our hypothesis test, a value of sig.= 0,737 has been obtained, which is greater than our chosen 0,05, with which it can be determined that there is no relationship between intestinal parasitosis and nutritional status. A value of sig.= 0,115 has been obtained, which is greater than our chosen 0,05, with which it can be determined that there is no relationship between intestinal protozoa infestation and anthropometric markers in children aged 3 to 5 years. Likewise, a value of sig.= 0,000 has been obtained, with which we can determine that there is a relationship between intestinal infestation by intestinal protozoa and hemoglobin and hematocrit levels in children aged 3 to 5 years. Also, a value of sig.= 0,390 has been obtained, it was determined that there is no relationship between intestinal helminth infestation and anthropometric markers in children aged 3 to 5 years. On the other hand, a value of sig.= 0,000 has been obtained, determining that there is a relationship between intestinal helminth infestation and hemoglobin and hematocrit levels in children aged 3 to 5 years. Conclusions: It is concluded that gastrointestinal infestations caused by parasites that can live in other parts of the body besides the gastrointestinal tract are not related to a person's health level, their ability to perform daily tasks, and resistance to diseases as a result of food and nutrient intake.

Enteroparasitosis y factores asociados en niños de edad preescolar de un centro educativo de Quepepampa - Huaral, 2025

Las enteroparasitosis, conocidas como afecciones del sistema gastrointestinal acaecidas por la invasión de organismos unicelulares (protozoarios) o pluricelulares (helmintos). Este grupo de infecciones ha mostrado ser una problemática en salubridad con alta prevalencia en la población de infantes comprendida entre 3 a 5 años; por tal motivo, la investigación se focaliza en “determinar los enteroparásitos y los factores que guardan asociación en niños preescolares de un centro educativo en Quepepampa - Huaral, 2025”. Es no experimental, correlacional , transversal , prospectivo y observacional aplicado a un conjunto de 125 niños con mayoría del sexo masculino (52.8%). La toma de datos se basó en pruebas de laboratorio para la prevalencia de enteroparásitos, adicional a ello, se aplicó una ficha para recolectar datos y un cuestionario para reconocer los factores que se relaciona a la enteroparasitosis. Los resultados evidenciaron que el 50.4% presentó una prevalencia positiva, así como también, el 33.9% presentó una prevalencia de Entamoeba coli. Abordando los factores que se asocian, se determinó que, el tipo de agua empleada para el consumo es potable (p < .001), el índice de hacinamiento (p < .001) y la tenencia de mascotas en el hogar (p < .001) estaban asociados con la prevalencia de enteroparasitosis. En conclusión, se encontró una alta prevalencia de Entamoeba coli (33.9%) y una asociación estadísticamente significativa entre la presencia de enteroparásitos y factores como el consumo de agua no potable, el hacinamiento y la tenencia de mascotas, por otro lado, el saneamiento ambiental no mostro asociación significativa.

Prevalencia de protozoos y nematodos en tubérculos que son consumidos crudos, expendidos por los agricultores del distrito de Ate, 2012
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2013) Sifuentes Rosales, Dianne Lindsay; Guillen Zavaleta, Zoila Flor
This study aimed to determine the prevalence of protozoa and nematodes in raw-consumed tubers such as Raphanus sativus (radish), Daucus carota (carrot), Beta vulgaris (beet), and Brassica napus (turnip), sold by farmers in the district of Ate in June 2012. Eighty samples from 20 cultivation fields were analyzed through direct examination and centrifugation methods. The results showed that 78.75% of the samples were positive for protozoa and nematodes. The identified species included Acanthamoeba sp., Balantidium coli, Naegleria sp., Strongyloides stercoralis, Toxocara canis, free-living amoebae, ciliates, Endolimax nana, Vorticella sp., and nematodes sp. Among the analyzed tubers, radish (Raphanus sativus) was the most contaminated. The main contamination factors were clay soils, irrigation water from stagnant canal sources, and washing tubers with the same stagnant canal water prior to commercialization. In conclusion, the high prevalence of contamination represents a considerable infection risk for consumers of these tubers in the district of Ate. The findings suggest the need to reinforce sanitary surveillance before these products are distributed to the population.
