Worms that live in the human intestine can cause malnutrition and anemic. This study aims to determine the relationship STH and Enterobius vermicularis infection with anemic of students in several elementary schools in Aceh Besar regency, Aceh province. This study was an analytical study using a cross-sectional study design conducted from May to November 2015. The sample consisted of the total sampling of 736 elementary school students, as well as using the inquiry method of Kato with stool specimens, cellophane tape anal swab, and hemoglobin. The correspondents who suffered from anemia and STH type helminthiasis, namely ancylostomiasis 7/7 students (100%, p=0.000); trichuriasis 30/58 students (51.7%, p=0.000) and 28 students not anemic (48.3%); and ascariasis 13/22 students (59.9%, p=0.002) and 9 students not anemic (41.1%). In enterobiasis infection, anemic students were 46/146 students (31.5%) and nonanemic students were 100 students (68.5%, p=0.634). In conclusion, all STH types related to the anemic status of the correspondent, and no correlation between anemic and infection of enterobiasis.   HUBUNGAN INFEKSI SOIL-TRANSMITTED HELMINTH DAN ENTEROBIUS VERMICULARIS DENGAN ANEMIA PADA SISWA DI KABUPATEN ACEH BESAR PROVINSI ACEH Kecacingan adalah penyakit yang disebabkan oleh parasit berupa cacing, salah satunya jenis soil-transmitted helminth (STH), yaitu A. lumbricoides, T. trichiura, N. americanus, dan A. duodenale yang menginfeksi manusia melalui transmisi tanah.
