Animal-source foods (ASF) are crucial for children and adolescents' development. This study used data from the Global Dietary Database and Bayesian hierarchical models to analyze global, regional, and national ASF intakes between 1990 and 2018. Mean ASF intake was 1.9 servings per day, with higher intake among urban children with educated parents. Consumption increased in most regions except sub-Saharan Africa. Findings can inform policies to address malnutrition.
