The aim of this study was to investigating prevalence and some of the determinants of Malnutrition and intestinal parasitic infections among preschool Children in Shahroud, Iran. Materials and Methods At a cross-sectional study, the all preschool Children (1, 850 cases), in Shahroud city as simple census, were selected. General information was collected using questionnaires and face-to-face interviews with the Children’ s parent. Stool specimens, collected fresh in paper cups, were examined by formalin-ether concentration. Also, the adhesive cellophane tape method was used to diagnose oxyuriasis. The nutritional status of the Children’ s was determined based on anthropometrics. Data were analyzed using the SPSS. Results The prevalence of Malnutrition, based on weight-for-age, height-for-age, and weight-for-height was 6. 7, 5. 8 and 7. 7%, respectively. A third of Children (35. 1%) had parasites infections, including 22. 8% pathogenic parasites and 26. 4% non-pathogenic and 35. 5% of Children were infected to oxyuris. The prevalence of parasite infection in the boys (51. 1%) was significantly higher than the girls (42. 3%)). Also, a significant relationship was found between Malnutrition (height-for-age) and parasitic infections (P<0. 05).
