The Madagascar Health and Environmental Research (MAHERY) study cohort was set up in 2004 to understand the human health impacts of environmental change (e.g. deforestation, unsustainable hunting, biodiversity loss, climate change etc.) in Madagascar. There was a particular focus on the role of local people in rainforested areas of north-eastern Madagascar (near the city of Maroantsetra) in depleting the stocks of wild foods and how that may affect nutritional status.^1,2 Nutritional status is viewed as the interaction of dietary intake, disease status and physiological state (for example, rapid growth or lactation). We selected this site for our cohort because it is nearly a fully autarchic food production system where local people are heavily reliant on wild harvest plants and animals (including wild meats like lemurs, bats, carnivores, tenrecs,...

队列简介：马达加斯加东北部的马达加斯加健康与环境研究（MAHERY）研究

马达加斯加健康与环境研究（MAHERY）研究队列成立于2004年，旨在了解马达加斯加环境变化（例如森林砍伐，不可持续的狩猎，生物多样性丧失，气候变化等）对人类健康的影响。特别关注的是马达加斯加东北部（Maroantsetra市附近）东北雨林地区的当地人在减少野生食品库存中的作用，以及这可能如何影响营养状况。^{1 ，2}营养状况被视为饮食摄入，疾病状况和生理状况（例如，快速生长或泌乳）的相互作用。我们选择此站点作为我们的队列，因为它几乎是一个完全自给自足的食品生产系统，当地人非常依赖野生的收割动植物（包括狐猴，蝙蝠，食肉动物，tenrecs等野生肉...
