Abstract
Childhood stunting remains a global health issue with significant consequences for the growth, long-term health, and development of childre, Poor nutrition is a well-established contributor to childhood stunting. This study aims to investigate the potential of utilizing biscuits as a nutritional intervention to improve the child‘s stunting condition. This systematic review was consisted of a literature search in several databases: Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Springer, following the PRISMA methodology. Our search yielded a total of 836 records, while 11 studies were finally included after the screening. The studies revealed critical findings regarding the utilization of biscuits as a carrier in providing essential nutrients. Nevertheless, more well-designed and standardized studies are required to establish clear guidelines for the formulation and implementation of biscuit-based interventions. Policymakers and health practitioners should consider incorporating fortified biscuits into strategies aimed at reducing stunting, especially in regions with a high prevalence of stunting.
