Global Regional and National Animal and Plant Source Food Intake Among Adolescents Ages 11–19 Years in 2015: An analysis from the Global Dietary Database

摘要

Global nutrition research and dietary recommendations have focused on infants/young children or adults with limited attention on the crucial ages of adolescents. Diet quality during adolescence is critical to support physical and mental development and promote healthy dietary behaviors in adulthood. Our objective was to estimate consumption of plant source foods (PSF) and animal source foods (ASF) among adolescents age 11–19 years globally.
