Gender-based violence and women's nutrition: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Women's nutrition is vital to their health and well-being. Among many factors influencing women's nutrition in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), gender-based violence (GBV) may result in poorer nutrition outcomes. Current evidence syntheses do not focus on GBV and women's nutrition outcomes. We conducted a systematic review of quantitative evidence on women's experience of GBV and their nutrition outcomes in LMICs.

Methods

We conducted a structured search of six databases to identify manuscripts meeting inclusion criteria. Following the title and abstract and full-text review, we piloted and refined a data extraction template that included variables such as study design, research question, type(s) of GBV and nutrition indicators included in the study.
