Personal hygiene has an impact on the health, quality of life and academic performance of schoolchildren. The factors associated with it can be complex. We carried out our analysis based on a database on hookworms in schoolchildren in Côte d'Ivoire. This is a cross-sectional retrospective study, on 2,035 schoolchildren recruited from 30 schools in the western region of Côte d'Ivoire. The predictors of good personal hygiene for schoolchildren were the existence of a good level of sanitation at home (OR = 1.62; 95% CI = 1.24–2.13) and a primary school education as the minimum level of education for the father (OR = 1.48; 95% CI = 1.12–1.96). In contrast, students below the age of ten attending poor sanitary establishments are more likely to have poor personal hygiene (OR = 0.40; 95% CI = 0.22–0.73); therefore, it becomes necessary to provide good basic environmental sanitation for families and schools.

个人卫生会影响学童的健康、生活质量和学业成绩。与之相关的因素可能很复杂。我们根据科特迪瓦学童钩虫数据库进行分析。这是一项横断面回顾性研究，对象是从科特迪瓦西部地区 30 所学校招募的 2,035 名学童。学童良好个人卫生的预测因素是家庭卫生水平良好（OR = 1.62；95% CI = 1.24–2.13）和小学教育作为父亲的最低教育水平（OR = 1.48 ; 95% CI = 1.12–1.96)。相比之下，在卫生设施差的十岁以下学生更可能有不良的个人卫生习惯（OR = 0.40；95% CI = 0.22–0.73）；所以，
