Abstract

The present study evaluated the main risk factors predisposing children aged 1-9 to contract intestinal parasitosis, identifying the predominant sanitary and socioeconomic conditions. A cross-sectional study was conducted using both qualitative and quantitative methods. For this project, an interview was held with the director of the health center in the 24 de Mayo canton, in which questions were asked regarding the sanitary, economic, and social situation of the canton in general to establish connections with the parasitic conditions of the children attending the health center. Additionally, a relationship was established between the prevalence of parasitosis and the socioeconomic level it affects within a population of 28,846 inhabitants in the canton, of which an estimated 8,923 are children. It was concluded that actions are necessary to improve the sanitary conditions of the canton.
