Abstract:

Various programs to combat malnutrition have been implemented over the years in Brazil. Since 2001, it is the Bolsa Família Program (BFP) this responsibility.
Despite the expansion of PBF are still low valuations considering the advances and challenges to be faced as well as the impacts on health and nutrition. Although the monitoring of nutritional status is one of the conditionalities for the maintenance of the receipt of the benefit, when searching for this data, there is great difficulty in obtaining them.
The aim of this systematic review is to obtain information of the nutritional status of the beneficiaries of the PBF, to meet the national reality with regard to this situation, and assess whether the program had an impact on the nutritional status of the population served.
