Study Objective
To review global evidence on the impact of smokeless tobacco (SLT) use on public health nutrition, including factors such as BMI, malnutrition, anemia, poor birth outcomes, and metabolic disorders.

Short Abstract
This systematic review explores the global health consequences of smokeless tobacco use on nutrition-related factors. It highlights the negative effects of SLT on body weight, oral health, nutritional intake, and metabolic disorders. The review shows that SLT use contributes to food insecurity, poor birth outcomes, and malnutrition, emphasizing the need for integrated tobacco control and public health nutrition efforts to mitigate these effects.
