Soil-transmitted helminthiasis is a common problem in communities with poor socio-environmental conditions. This study was undertaken to identify important socio-environmental predictors of soil-transmitted helminthiasis in Bachok, a rural community in Kelantan for the development and implementation of an effective prevention and control program. Of 363 children randomly sampled, 38.8% were infected with soil-transmitted helminthiasis. Risk predictors of soil-transmitted helminthiasis found to be significant after adjustment included poor household hygiene score and large household size. The probability of being infected was 0.58 amongst children with both of these risk factors.
土壤传播的蠕虫病在社会环境条件较差的社区是一个常见问题。本研究旨在确定吉兰丹州一个农村社区巴卓土壤传播蠕虫病的重要社会环境预测因素，以制定和实施有效的预防和控制方案。在随机抽取的363名儿童中，38.8%感染了土壤传播的蠕虫病。调整后发现土壤传播蠕虫病的风险预测因素具有统计学意义，包括家庭卫生评分低和家庭规模大。同时具备这两个风险因素的儿童感染概率为0.58。
