食用野生肉类可以预防缺铁性贫血，这是一个严重的全球公共卫生问题。为促进关于野生动物肉与森林附近居民健康之间联系的辩论，我们调查了巴西亚马逊河流域中部地区野生动物肉消费是否与农村和城市儿童（< 5岁）的血红蛋白浓度相关。由于饮食习惯介导的潜在营养效益的野生肉类，我们还研究了是否引入儿童的饮食是由农村/城市的位置或家庭的社会经济特征的影响。对610名儿童进行抽样调查，我们发现，在最容易陷入贫困的农村儿童中，食用野生动物肉与血红蛋白浓度较高有关，但在最不容易陷入贫困的农村或城市儿童中则不然。农村照顾者比城市照顾者更早与儿童分享野生肉类，这可能是因为文化差异，获得驯化肉类的机会较少，农村家庭的野生肉类消费量较高（是城市平均水平的四倍）。如果通过更严格的法规或过度捕捞而无法获得野生肉类，我们预测极端贫困农村儿童的贫血患病率将增加约10%。这种适度的保护作用表明，仅确保获得野生肉类不足以控制贫血。可持续的野生动物管理可以提高野生动物对脆弱的亚马逊人的营养价值，但减少多层面贫困和改善获得优质医疗保健的机会至关重要。
Consuming wildmeat may protect against iron-deficiency anemia, a serious public health problem globally. Contributing to debates on the linkages between wildmeat and the health of forest-proximate people, we investigate whether wildmeat consumption is associated with hemoglobin concentration in rural and urban children (< 5 years old) in central Brazilian Amazonia. Because dietary practices mediate the potential nutritional benefits of wildmeat, we also examined whether its introduction into children’s diets is influenced by rural/urban location or household socio-economic characteristics. Sampling 610 children, we found that wildmeat consumption is associated with higher hemoglobin concentration among the rural children most vulnerable to poverty, but not in the least vulnerable rural, or urban children. Rural caregivers share wildmeat with children earlier-in-life than urban caregivers, potentially because of cultural differences, lower access to domesticated meat, and higher wildmeat consumption by rural households (four times the urban average). If wildmeat becomes unavailable through stricter regulations or over-harvesting, we predict a ~ 10% increased prevalence of anemia among extremely poor rural children. This modest protective effect indicates that ensuring wildmeat access is, alone, insufficient to control anemia. Sustainable wildlife management could enhance the nutritional benefits of wildlife for vulnerable Amazonians, but reducing multidimensional poverty and improving access to quality healthcare are paramount.
