Researchers found little change in the quantity of animal-source foods (ASF) consumed between 2010–2015 but substantial composition changes. They also found increasing rural–urban and income-linked inequality in quantities of ASF and associated nutrients consumed and declines in the adequacy of intake of several micronutrients due to the changing composition of ASF. Elevated levels of ASF-derived total fat and sodium consumption among higher income consumers point to an emerging triple burden of malnutrition.
