Children's and adolescents' rising animal-source food intakes in 1990–2018 were impacted by age, region, parental education and urbanicity

V. Miller, P. Webb, et al.

Animal-source foods play an essential role in the development of children and adolescents. This research, conducted by a team from Tufts University and McMaster University, reveals that mean intake is 1.9 servings per day and highlights an upward trend in consumption across most regions, with insights on urban children and educated parents. These findings offer valuable guidance for addressing global malnutrition.

Abstract
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.
