AIM: Describe the food consumption and nutritional status of children with Sickle Cell Disease (FD). METHODS: The study was carried out through a systematic review using the PICO strategy. The articles were collected in electronic databases: Virtual Health Library (VHL), PubMed and SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online), from publications in the last 10 years, in Portuguese and English, with a population of children diagnosed with SCD and age up to 12 years old. For identification and selection of articles, the PRISMA flow diagram was used. RESULTS: After selection, 07 articles were included in the review, all of which were cross-sectional, with geographic distribution covering Brazil, Nigeria and Ghana. Which consists of 12,120 female and male children who participated in the surveys, with the exception of the control group. The studies used some criteria to assess nutritional status, food consumption and socioeconomic profile. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: The low socioeconomic level, added to the unbalanced food intake, still cause significant changes in the growth and development process of children who inherit Sickle Cell Disease.General and dietary interventions, appropriate to the reality of these individuals, enable a positive impact on the quality of life of this public.
