- Abstract
Objectives: To synthesize the knowledge produced in the literature about the nutritional status and food security of families benefited by the Bolsa Família Program. Methods: Integrative review, with publications from 2004 to 2017, in the databases: Scientific Electronic Library Online, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature and Virtual Health Library using the keywords: Nutritional Status; Food safety; Public health; Nutritional policy; Social policy. Results: We selected 17 publications that met the inclusion criteria. The Program provided beneficiary families with access to sufficient and quality food. On the other hand, it provided an increase in the consumption of low calorie and nutritious foods, causing nutritional disturbances. Conclusion: The Program has brought many benefits, but it is recommended to carry out educational actions aimed at healthy eating and the search for investments in education, health, job and income generation and implementation of policies aimed at social inequality.
