Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Food and nutritional security is the realization of everyone’s right to regular and permanent access to quality food. In 2011 45% of children deaths in Brazil were related to malnutrition, which contributes to the maintenance of poverty and inequality. METHODS: Data were collected from GBD Compare tool, between 1990 and 2019. The theoretical foundation was carried out through research on database platforms. RESULTS: Reduction of the rates of protein-energy malnutrition through the years was evidenced, on average a reduction of 6,2% every 10 years in all ages. The period of significant drop in food insecurity coincides with the implementation of specific policies for this purpose, and income redistribution policies, such as the Bolsa Família. CONCLUSIONS: The data showed that the situation of malnutrition in Brazil has decreased over the years, however the structural cause of food insecurity has not been removed.
