野味是人类食源性疾病的独特来源；然而，关于日本野味的消耗量和制作方法的报道很少。本研究的目的是描述日本人食用野味肉的模式，并找出与日本人食用野味肉引起的疾病相关的风险因素。5万名受访者完成了一项关于熊、野猪、鹿、鸭、山鸡和野鸡消费的网络调查；只有552名受访者(4.9%的野味消费者)报告在食用这些肉类后生病。食用的野味肉类种类的数量与疾病患病率的增加之间存在关联：一到五种肉类的患病率为3.0%至7.2%，当所有六种肉类都被食用时，患病率达到近30%。一般来说，在对受访者的性别和年龄进行调整后，食用生野味的受访者患病的几率高于食用加工肉的受访者。关于肉类的准备地点，在家中猎杀和准备熊肉、野猪或鹿肉的受访者患病的可能性最高。为了让公众了解在野外、家中或企业处理野味时的卫生需求，猎人、肉类加工商和餐馆需要来自政府来源的指导和教育。
Game meat represents a unique source of foodborne illness in humans; however, little is published on the amount consumed and preparation methods in Japan. The objectives of our study were to describe game meat consumption patterns and identify risk factors associated with illness attributed to game meat consumption in Japan. A Web-based survey regarding consumption of bear, wild boar, deer, duck, partridge, and pheasant was completed by 50,000 respondents; only 552 respondents (4.9% of game meat consumers) reported becoming ill after consuming such meat. There was an association between the number of game meat types consumed and the increasing prevalence of illness: 3.0 to 7.2% for one to five types of meat, with prevalence reaching nearly 30% when all six varieties were consumed. Generally, the odds of illness were greater among respondents who consumed raw game meat than those who consumed processed meat, after adjusting for the sex and the age of the respondent. Regarding place of meat preparation, the likelihood of illness was highest among respondents who hunted and prepared bear, boar, or deer meat at home. To inform the general public on needs for hygiene when handling game meat in the field, at home, or at businesses, guidelines and education from government sources are needed for hunters, meat processors, and restaurants.
