Abstract
Over the past three decades, the epidemiology of malnutrition has changed considerably around the world, the coexistence of different forms of malnutrition can be observed within countries and a double burden of malnutrition has become increasingly common, malnutrition can be influenced by different factors differently in different regions, economies or societies. The objective of the present study was to identify the existing literature through a descriptive statistical analysis based on frequencies of representative health data to identify the socio-demographic and nutritional factors for the appearance of child malnutrition in rural sectors. This study was based on a systematic review based on articles published in different online databases, the publication period of the reviewed articles was from 2015 to 2023. The articles were chosen for review based on a search for relevant topics, for which was divided into two sections: A. Characteristics at the household level, and B. Characteristics within the home. It was concluded that there are three broad categories of factors such as individual, family and sector, some of the relevant data such as education, age of the mother, nutritional values and choices, work factors, nutritional patterns, socioeconomic factors, family structure, beliefs religious and cultural, demographic lack, population/health services and lack of drinking water are aspects discussed.
