    Objective: To systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of consuming iron-fortified rice to correct micronutrient deficiencies in children aged 6 to 59 months. Materials and Methods: A systematic, observational, and retrospective review synthesizing the results of multiple primary studies. The search was limited to full-text articles, and the selected articles underwent critical reading, using the GRADE system to assign the strength of recommendations. Results: In the final selection, 10 articles were chosen, with 30% (3) from studies conducted in Brazil, 40% (4) from studies in Thailand and the United States, and 10% (1) from studies in Peru, India, and China, respectively. Conclusions: 90% of the analyzed articles confirm the effectiveness of consuming fortified rice to correct micronutrient or trace element deficiencies in children aged 6 to 59 months. With timely intervention from the health sector, combined with nursing interventions on the topic, developmental disorders and childhood anemia can be corrected.
