| The longitudinal clustered controlled study encompasses assessment at baseline and after a 18-months period. Collected data encompasses basic socio-demographic data including age, sex, number of siblings, and location of home. Assessment of Nutritional Status (BMI) Measurements are done using the standards described by Cogill. Height and weight is assessed to the nearest 0.1 cm and 100 grams, respectively. BMI is calculated by weight (in kgs) for height (in meters) squared [w(kg)/h(m)2]. Parasitological Assessments Stool cups are given to the children targeted for monitoring with appropriate collection instructions. Stool samples are analysed using the Kato Katz method as described in the World Health Organization Bench Aids for the Diagnosis of Intestinal Parasites. Gathered data are used to derive the cumulative prevalence rates, prevalence rates of individual helminth infections and intensities of STH infections. Assessments is done before deworming treatment at baseline (day 0) and after 18 months. Oral Examination All oral examinations of the schoolchildren are carried out in the school courtyard or in case of rain under a covered court. Prior to examination, children are instructed to brush their teeth. Students are examined by the gloved and masked dental examiner using a battery powered headlamp to standardize examination conditions. The teeth are examined according to WHO Basic Methods. A CPI (ball-end) probe is used gently to detect and confirm visual evidence of caries. All children are examined on tooth level, only the first molar is assessed on surface level. Teeth with pulp involvement is recorded in primary as well as in permanent dentition according to PUFA/ pufa index. Dentists are trained, calibrated, and found knowledgeable on the diagnostic criteria, perform the examinations. Calibration is conducted by comparing the results of each examiner with the results of an experienced examiner (gold standard). Prevalence of Oral Pain/Abdominal Pain | — |
