Zinc supplementation has been explored as a potential intervention to reduce the risk of malaria parasitaemia in randomised controlled trials (RCTs). However, inconsistent evidence obtained regarding efficacy zinc context prevention. This systematic review was implemented survey existing literature determine effects daily oral administration zinc, either alone or combination with other nutrient supplements, on parasitaemia. The prospectively registered PROSPERO database CRD42023424345 and followed PRISMA protocols. A comprehensive search conducted across multiple databases, including Embase, MEDLINE, Ovid, PubMed, Scopus, ProQuest, Google Scholar, from their inception until 6 May 2023. bias RCTs assessed using Cochrane Risk Bias Tool 2 (RoB 2). effect sizes, represented ratios (RRs) 95% confidence intervals (CIs), were standardised by transforming them into log RRs then pooling fixed-effects random-effects model depending heterogeneity studies. Comparisons made between individuals who received micronutrient supplements those did not receive zinc. total 1339 articles identified through searches, after screening selection process, 10 studies included final synthesis. meta-analysis revealed that significantly affect compared placebo (
