 note = {text, 紀要論文 / Departmental Bulletin Paper, Wild foods are important sources of nutrition in Africa, but studies on the relationships between wild food intake and children’s health are limited. The research villages, Chinangali in Dodoma region, central Tanzania, and Malolo (inland) and Kijiweni (coastal) in Lindi region, southeast Tanzania, were selected based on their resilience by utilizing wild foods despite their food deficits. Wild food and food group intake frequency and health were captured by questionnaires in September 2022 with 85 school children in Malolo, 91 in Kijiweni, and 80 in Chinangali.Relationships between children’s wild food / food group intake in the dry season and health problems were analyzed through correlation (Spearman), relationships between wild food species and specific health problems (diarrhea and constipation) were analyzed through correlation (Spearman), dietary patterns including wild food intake were analyzed by factor analysis, and factor scores were correlated with health problems.Children ate wild foods more frequently than adults. With frequency scores from 0 (do not eat) to 4 (every day), children in Chinangali ate wild foods on average 1.11 ± 0.50, less than children in Malolo (2.71 ± 1.24) and Kijiweni (3.55 ± 0.79), similar to adults. Analysis indicated that in Chinangali, children frequently eating wild foods infrequently ate tuber/bananas and/or tended to have a good appetite and can see far away. Those who ate Cissus welwitschii fruit, and/or Bidens pilosa and/or Ipomoea sp. vegetables tended not to have constipation. In Malolo, children who frequently ate cereals also frequently ate wild food. They tended not to have problems of feeling tired, not feeling like doing anything, or waking up. Those who ate toxic Tacca leontopetaloides tended to have diarrhea.Those who ate Strychnos innocua, Uvaria sp., and/or Parinari curatellifolia fruits and/or Macrotyloma axillare tuber tended not to have constipation. In Kijiweni, children who took oil and ate meat frequently also ate wild food relatively frequently. They tended not to have problems waking up or not feeling like doing anything. Those who ate Rhodognaphalon schumannianum and/or Adansonia digitata nuts tended not to have diarrhea. Further research and analysis are necessary to understand the causal relationship, the situation in the rainy season, and the situation in other locations.},
