Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Concurrent losses in biodiversity and human dietary diversity are evident in Madagascar and across many food systems globally. Wild food harvest can mitigate nutrition insecurities but may also pose species conservation concerns.
UNASSIGNED: This study aimed to examine the association of wild plant and animal species consumption during hunger season with diet diversity and child growth near the Alandraza-Agnalavelo protected forest in Southwestern Madagascar. Second, we studied the conservation status of the consumed wild plants.
UNASSIGNED: Methods from public health nutrition (24-h recall dietary intake, anthropometry using World Health Organization [WHO] Growth Standards), ethnobotany, and forest ecology (ecologic studies of abundance, habitat preference, associated species, food chemistry assays, and species richness) were applied.
UNASSIGNED: Malnutrition in children (n = 305) was highly prevalent: stunting (32.3%); wasting (18.8%); and low-dietary diversity (4% meeting WHO minimum dietary diversity threshold). Animal foods were consumed in small quantities, providing <10% of Dietary Reference Intakes for all limiting nutrients. Twenty-two wild plant species were consumed during hunger season, prominently tubers (Dioscoreaceae), and leafy greens (Asteraceae, Blechnaceae, Portulacaceae, and Solanaceae). Eight of the 9 target species were identified as abundant and \"Least Concern,\" whereas Amorphophollus taurostigma was abundant and \"Vulnerable.\" Regression modeling showed wild food consumption was associated with an increased household dietary diversity score [β = 0.29 (0.06 standard error); P < 0.001], and total wild animal foods positively correlated with height-for-age Z score [β = 0.14 (0.07 standard error); P = 0.04].
UNASSIGNED: Wild plant and animal foods may be an important element of food systems to support human nutrition while maintaining ecosystem viability.

摘要：
在马达加斯加和全球许多粮食系统中，生物多样性和人类饮食多样性的同时丧失是显而易见的。野生食物收获可以减轻营养不安全感，但也可能引起物种保护问题。
■这项研究旨在研究马达加斯加西南部Alandraza-Agnalavelo保护区森林附近饥饿季节野生动植物物种消费与饮食多样性和儿童生长的关系。第二,我们研究了食用野生植物的保护状况。
■来自公共卫生营养的方法（24小时召回饮食摄入量，使用世界卫生组织[世卫组织]生长标准进行人体测量)，民族植物学,和森林生态学(丰度的生态学研究，栖息地偏好，相关物种,食品化学化验，和物种丰富度)被应用。
■儿童营养不良（n=305）非常普遍：发育迟缓（32.3％）；消瘦（18.8％）；低饮食多样性（4％达到WHO最低饮食多样性阈值）。动物性食物被少量消耗，为所有限制性营养素提供<10%的饮食参考摄入量。在饥饿季节消耗了22种野生植物，突出的块茎（山药科），和绿叶蔬菜（菊科，车头科,马齿科,和茄科）。9个目标物种中有8个被确定为丰富和“最不关心，“而紫花苜蓿是丰富的，容易受到伤害。回归模型显示，野生食物消费与家庭饮食多样性评分增加相关[β=0.29(0.06标准误差)；P<0.001]，总野生动物食物与身高年龄Z评分呈正相关[β=0.14（0.07标准误差）；P=0.04]。
■野生动植物食品可能是食物系统中支持人类营养同时保持生态系统活力的重要元素。
