Correction for Beal et al., Nutrient-dense foods and diverse diets are important for ensuring adequate nutrition across the life course

PMCID: PMC12305021  PMID: 40680032

Correction for “Nutrient-dense foods and diverse diets are important for ensuring adequate nutrition across the life course,” by Ty Beal, Swetha Manohar, Lais Miachon, and Jessica Fanzo, which published December 2, 2024; 10.1073/pnas.2319007121 (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 121, e2319007121).

The authors note that there is an error “related to Fig. 4 and the paragraph of text referring to Fig. 4 in the article. Fig. 4 is based on the Global Dietary Database, which assumes each country consumes the same amount of calories.” The authors were unaware of this assumption, as the original article that the data come from presents the findings as estimates of intakes, rather than food group proportional intakes. The text under subheading “Global patterns of animal-source food consumption” and the legend for Fig. 4 have been updated.

Modeled estimates of per person daily dietary intake of animal-source foods adjusted to a fixed total calorie intake across countries, excluding unprocessed poultry meat. All intakes are reported adjusted to 700 kcal/d for ages <1 y, 1,000 kcal/d for ages 1 to 2 y, 1,300 kcal/d for ages 2 to 5 y, 1,700 kcal/d for ages 6 to 10 y, 2,000 kcal/d for ages 11 to 74 y, and 1,700 kcal/d for ages ≥75 y. Data are from Miller et al. (70).
