Health culture is one of the most important component in a community. Health component depends upon socio – economic status, housing, hygiene like as water supply, food hygiene, environmental hygiene and personal hygiene, sanitation culture and education. For the present study the samples of stool were collected and a survey was carried out during the period of 2012 to 2013 on the 279, randomly selected persons for human gastrointestinal parasitic diseases from urban and rural populations of Khurja, Bulandshahr. Epidemiological data were analyzed using Chi –Squared test. The prevalence of intestinal parasites was significantly higher (χ2 = 11.17, df = 3, P = 7.82 at 0.05 level) in low age group, (χ2 = 30.28, df = 2, P = 5.59 at 0.05 level) in low income group, (χ2 = 4.73, df = 1, P = 3.84 at 0.05 level) in rural population and (χ2 = 20.73, df = 3, P = 7.82 at 0.05 level) due to illiteracy. The aim of this study was to find out association, if any, between social factors viz; age, sex, rural or urban area, marital status, income, education and parasitic diseases. An understanding of relationship between these factors and prevalence of diseases might prove helpful in planning and execution of an effective strategy directed to eliminate the disease in highly endemic areas.
