Direct. ((Food) AND (Insecurity) AND (Relation) OR (influence) AND (Pediatric) OR (Children) AND (Obesity) OR (Fat) OR (Nutritional status)) are used as keywords. Additionally, manual searches are conducted to obtain articles that satisfy the specified criteria. Discrepancies are resolved through consensus with the third author.
Results: There were a total of 12,574 cases included in the study. With ages ranging from five to eighteen. Ethiopia,Canada, the U.S., and Atlanta are among the origins of the research. With investigation years spanning from 2014 to 2022.
