在发展中国家，饮食和身体活动的许多变化正在同时发生。这些饮食转变包括能量密度、高脂肪饮食人口比例和动物产品摄入量的大幅增加。动物源食品 (ASF) 在这些饮食转变中发挥着重要作用。本文记录了发展中国家饮食结构和肥胖的巨大变化，并指出这些变化正在加速。以中国为案例研究，通过描述性和更严格的动态纵向分析提供了这一过程加速的证据。这些变化对饮食和肥胖模式以及心血管疾病的影响是巨大的。事实上，发展中国家的肥胖率高于营养不良率，农业部门必须更认真地考虑与饱和脂肪摄入和能量不平衡有关的问题。许多发展中国家当前的农业发展政策侧重于畜牧业推广，没有考虑这一战略对健康的潜在不利后果。尽管 ASIF 摄入量与肥胖之间的联系不能像 ASF 摄入量高、心脏病和癌症那样明确，但与 ASF 摄入量增加相关的潜在不良健康影响不应再被忽视。
Many changes in diet and in physical activity are occurring simultaneously in the developing world. These diet shifts include large increases in energy density, in the proportion of the population consuming a high fat diet and in animal product intake. Animal source foods (ASF) play a major role in these diet shifts. This article documents the large shifts in the composition of diets and obesity across the developing world and notes that these changes are accelerating. Using China as a case study, evidence of the speeding up of this process is presented in descriptive and more rigorous dynamic longitudinal analysis. The implications of these changes for dietary and obesity patterns and cardiovascular disease are great. Indeed, developing countries are at a point where the prevalence of obesity is greater than that of undernutrition and concerns related to intake of saturated fat and energy imbalance must be considered more seriously by the agriculture sector. Current agriculture development policy in many developing countries focuses on livestock promotion and does not consider the potential adverse health consequences of this strategy. Although linkages between ASIF intake and obesity cannot be established as clearly as they are for high ASF intakes, heart disease and cancer, the potential adverse health effects linked with an increased ASF intake should no longer be ignored.
