| Sumario: | This study aimed to examine the biopsychosocial factors that impact the child development in Brazil through a systematic review. The methodology adopted the PRISMA protocol and used a detailed search strategy in major databases. It selected empirical articles published between 2012 and 2024 that included samples of Brazilian children from 0 to 6 years old, describing risk and protective variables using standardized instruments for development assessment. The analysis resulted in the selection of 43 empirical studies, identifying 66 risk and protective factors, of which 78.78 % were classified as risks. The main risk factors identified were socioeconomic vulnerability, preterm birth and male sex. The findings suggest that variables such as maternal education and socioeconomic level are significantly associated with child development, serving as risk or protective factors depending on the context. The analysis underscores the need for early, multidisciplinary interventions to strengthen protective factors and reduce risks. It also suggests expanding research on protective factors. The results highlight the importance of biopsychosocial factors in child development, emphasizing the need for integrated policies in health, education, and social assistance to enhance human development from childhood and reduce inequalities. |
