“…The results found in the studies carried out by Rivera et al [16], Fernald, Gertler and Neufeld [7] and Fernald, Gertler and Neufeld [8] showed improvement in the height-for-age index (H/A), and less prevalence of malnutrition among beneficiary Mexican children. Although in the Brazilian program (Bolsa Família) there is no use of nutritional supplement, the founds made by the index H/A evaluation, in the national studies of Paes-sousa, Santos and Miazaki [13] and Paula et al [14] and are similar to the ones evidenced in the Mexican studies. The improvement in the anthropometric index and chronic malnutrition index reduction among children benefited by conditional cash transfer programs is also shown in a study carried out in Nicaragua, with results found by Macours, Schady and Vakis [11].…”

The inclusion criteria were epidemiological quantitative, observational, descriptive and analytical studies that had as target public children contemplated by the income transfer program with health conditionalities in Latin America. Narrative reviews related to the research theme were excluded as well as systematic reviews with or without meta-analysis related to the research theme. Results: The titles and abridgements review from 1007 articles resulted in the selection of 17 complete studies. After the quality analysis of these, as well as the application of the inclusion criteria, 10 articles were included in this review. Among the types of epidemiologic studies selected to compose this systematic review, 3 are cohort analytical studies. Conclusion: Studies carried out in Brazil, Mexico, Ecuador and Nicaragua were selected and indicated the positive effects that the conditional income transfer brought to the anthropometric index from beneficiary children in the researched countries.

“…The Brazilian studies carried out by Paula et al [14], Paes-sousa, Santos and Miazaki [13] and Morris et al [12] do not evidence important stature deficits among children benefited by conditional cash transfer. Thus, according to data from this systematic review, the Bolsa Família program is associated with better growth index for children.…”

OBJECTIVE:To analyze the influence of conditional cash transfer programs on diet and nutrition outcomes among beneficiary families in Brazil. METHODS:A systematic review of literature was carried out with original evaluation studies conducted in Brazil, including all types of clinical trials and observational studies. The search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and LILACS databases for papers published since 1990. The studies were analyzed according to the program evaluated, participants, study design, location, principal conclusions, confounding factors and methodological limitations. They were classified according to outcomes (nutritional status, dietary intake and food security) and level of evidence for the association with conditional cash transfer programs (adequacy or plausibility). RESULTS:We found 1,412 non-duplicated papers. Fifteen met the eligibility criteria and twelve evaluated the Bolsa Família program. Five plausibility studies and two adequacy analyses indicated a positive influence of conditional cash transfer programs on nutritional status of the beneficiary children. The conditional cash transfer programs influence on dietary intake was analyzed in one population-based adequacy study and three cross-sectionals plausibility researches in different municipalities. All of them indicated that beneficiaries had higher food intake than non-beneficiaries. The three cross-sectional plausibility analyses suggest a positive influence of conditional cash transfer programs on the food security of the beneficiaries. The main methodological limitations found were using cross-sectional analysis and difficulties in data collection, small sample sizes and limitations of the instruments used. CONCLUSIONS:The few studies found indicated a positive association between Brazilian conditional cash transfer programs and improvements in the recipients' diet and nutrition. Greater efforts to widen and qualify evaluations are needed in order to assess more comprehensively the impact of conditional cash transfer programs in Brazil.
