Abstract References Citation / Copyright Metrics

Human helminthiasis, particularly soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections, is
a prevalent health concern in Indonesia, especially among children, often
resulting in growth disorders, notably stunting. To examine the link between STH
infections and childhood stunting, we conducted a comprehensive review of
literature spanning 2012-2023, encompassing 40 selected articles from databases
like PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar. Our analysis revealed a
substantial association between STH infections and increased stunting risk in
children, estimating a 44.407% rise in stunting risk due to STH infection.
Stunting, a consequence of chronic malnutrition, profoundly affects a child's
physical and cognitive development, with long-lasting repercussions on their
future potential and quality of life. This study has significant implications.
It underscores the urgent need for robust public health interventions targeting
STH infections, especially in high-prevalence areas like Indonesia. Measures
such as mass deworming campaigns, improved sanitation and hygiene practices, and
health education can significantly alleviate the burden of STH infections and
the resulting stunting. Moreover, the research emphasizes the intricate
relationship between infectious diseases and malnutrition, highlighting the
necessity for a holistic approach to child health. Addressing STH infections
necessitates not only medical intervention but also efforts to enhance overall
living conditions and nutritional status. Integrating these approaches into a
comprehensive public health strategy can yield more effective and sustainable
results in the fight against childhood stunting. In conclusion, this study
underscores the paramount importance of addressing STH infections in the context
of child growth and underscores the urgency of implementing effective public
health interventions. This approach can enable children to reach their full
physical and cognitive potential, ultimately contributing to the overall
well-being and development of societies.
