Animal and Plant Protein Food Sources in Indonesia Differ Across Socio-Demographic Groups: Socio-Cultural Research in Protein Transition in Indonesia and Malaysia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Plant-based diets in lower-income countries are often associated with inadequate protein nutrition and adverse health outcomes.

Objective

To examine the diversity of protein food sources, in both animal and plant, across diverse socio-demographic groups in Indonesia as compared to Malaysia.
