On BMI-for-age measurement there are 4,8% obesity, 7,1% overweight, 73,8% normal, 9,5% thinness, and 4,8% severe thinness. Meanwhile, on height-for-age measurement there are 73,8% normal and 26,2% stunted . The incidence of intestinal protozoa infections was correlated with the nutritional status using SPSS (p= 0,375, p= 0,539, a= 5%).
Conclusion: There was no significant correlation between intestinal protozoa infections with the nutritional status of students Mandangin Island Elementary School 6 in Sampang Regency. These conditions caused by the pathogenicity stage to cause a decrease in the nutritional state has not been reached.Sungkar, S., Pohan, A., Ramadani, A., Albar, N., Azizah, F., Nugraha, A. & Wiria, A.
