: To determine the prevalence of intestinal parasites and possible associated factors.
: Cross-sectional epidemiological study of 962 children (3-12-years) from an area within the scope of a basic health unit in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil. Data were collected by home interviews and three-sample stool analysis and evaluated with the chi-square and Fisher's exact tests (p<0.05).
: The prevalence of intestinal parasites was significantly high (57.5%). Giardia lamblia was the most prevalent (50.8%), followed by Ascaris lumbricoides (17.8%), Entamoeba histolytica, Hymenolepis nana, Entamoeba coli and Enterobius vermiculares (5.6-7.3%) and other parasites of lower prevalence, such as Schistosoma japonicum (1%) and Schistosoma mansoni (0.5%). No statistically significant associations were detected between prevalence and the risk factors analyzed.
: Since the area presents good conditions of environmental sanitation, health education programs should be implemented that emphasize hygiene procedures for the hands and for food and water to be consumed by the population.
确定肠道寄生虫的患病率及可能的相关因素。
对巴西圣保罗州里贝朗普雷图一个基本卫生单位辖区内的962名3至12岁儿童进行横断面流行病学研究。通过家庭访谈和三次粪便样本分析收集数据，并采用卡方检验和费舍尔精确检验进行评估（p<0.05）。
肠道寄生虫的患病率显著较高（57.5%）。蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫最为常见（50.8%），其次是蛔虫（17.8%）、溶组织内阿米巴、微小膜壳绦虫、结肠内阿米巴和蠕形住肠线虫（5.6 - 7.3%）以及其他患病率较低的寄生虫，如日本血吸虫（1%）和曼氏血吸虫（0.5%）。在所分析的患病率与风险因素之间未检测到统计学上的显著关联。
鉴于该地区环境卫生条件良好，应实施健康教育项目，强调针对手部以及民众食用的食物和水的卫生程序。
