Objective: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of the double burden of malnutrition (DBM) at the individual level in children and adolescents through a comprehensive literature review.
Sources: Electronic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, were searched for articles published up until September 9, 2022. Studies reporting individual-level DBM in children and adolescents were included, and meta-regression models were used to investigate potential causes of heterogeneity across studies.

- The double burden of malnutrition (DBM) is a new form of malnutrition where individuals experience both malnutrition and overweight, with a study showing a prevalence of 7.3% among Brazilian adolescents aged 12 to 17.
