A comparative study of nutritional status and helminth infections among school-attending Mangyan children in the Philippines
School-attending Mangyan children from remote villages have lower growth patterns and a higher prevalence of helminth infections, highlighting the need for targeted health interventions. Future research should focus on larger studies to gather comprehensive data on health needs of this marginalized population.
