Malnutrition and particularly undernutrition and intestinal parasites represent a real public health issue in developing countries. In order to highlight the nutritional and parasitic status of the populations, a cross-sectional study was carried out in the rural commune of Niou. The objective of this study was to determine the different prevalences both in terms of nutritional and parasitic status. A total of 380 people took part in the study, of which 61.84% were women. Overall, 69.2% of the study population had a normal nutritional status, 24.2% suffered from malnutrition due to deficiency and 6.6% suffered from obesity or overweight. At least one in two people in our study population harbored a parasite in their digestive tract, an overall prevalence of 58.95. Among the subjects in a situation of nutritional deficiency, 61.95% were parasitized against 57.79% of parasitized in people with normal nutritional status and 56.0% in subjects in a situation of overweight or obesity. In total, 58.72% of women were carriers of parasites against 59.31% in men. Gender as well as sociodemographic situation are not determining factors for the occurrence of malnutrition and intestinal parasites. It is necessary in the fight against malnutrition and parasites in the population of Niou, to guarantee not only adequate food and hygiene but also to combine it with an effective treatment against intestinal parasites.

Malnutrition and particularly undernutrition and intestinal parasites represent a real public health issue in developing countries. In order to highlight the nutritional and parasitic status of the populations, a cross-sectional study was carried out in the rural commune of Niou.

Overall, 69.2% of the study population had a normal nutritional status, 24.2% suffered from malnutrition due to deficiency and 6.6% suffered from obesity or overweight.

Abstract: (french)
La malnutrition et particulièrement la sous-nutrition et les parasitoses intestinales représentent un véritable enjeu de santé publique dans les pays en développement. Afin de mettre en évidence le statut nutritionnel et parasitaire des populations, une étude transversale a été réalisée dans la commune rurale de Niou. Cette étude avait pour objectif la détermination des différentes prévalences aussi bien au niveau des statuts nutritionnels que celui parasitaire. Au total, 380 personnes ont participé à l’étude dont 61,84 % de femmes. Globalement, 69,2 % de la population étudiée avait un état nutritionnel normal, 24,2 % était atteinte d’une malnutrition par carence et 6,6 % était atteinte d’obésité ou de surpoids. Au moins une personne sur deux de notre population d’étude hébergeait un parasite dans son tube digestif, soit une prévalence globale de 58,95. Parmi les sujets en situation de carence nutritionnelle, 61,95 % étaient parasités contre 57,79 % de parasités chez les sujets à statut nutritionnel normal et 56,0 % chez les sujets en situation de surpoids ou d’obésité. Au total, 58,72 % de femmes étaient porteuses de parasites contre 59,31% chez les hommes. Le sexe, de même que la situation sociodémographique ne sont pas des facteurs déterminants pour la survenue de la malnutrition et des parasitoses intestinales. Il s’avère nécessaire dans la lutte contre la malnutrition et les parasitoses dans la population de Niou, de garantir non seulement une alimentation et une hygiène adéquates mais également d’y associer un traitement efficace contre les parasites intestinaux.
