Comparative aspects of high-altitude adaptation in human populations
(Adv. Exp. Med. Biol., 2000)
Abstract.
The conditions and duration of high-altitude residence differ among high-altitude populations. The Tibetan Plateau is larger, more geographically remote, and appears to have been occupied for a longer period of ...
Increased incidence of preeclampsia lowers birth weight and increases intrauterine mortality at high altitude
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2001)
Intrauterine growth restriction, preeclampsia, and intrauterine mortality at high altitude in Bolivia
(PEDIATRIC RESEARCH, 2003-02-18)
Abstract.
Infant mortality and stillbirth rates in Bolivia are high and birth weights are low compared with other South American countries. Most Bolivians live at altitudes of 2500 m or higher. We sought to determine the ...
High-altitude ancestry protects against IUGR and reductions in birth weight associated with high altitude and preeclampsia
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2005-02-22)
Background.
Observations consistently demonstrate diminished birth weight [BW] with ascending altitude;
however population comparisons reveal the extent of BW
reduction depends, in part, upon high-altitude ancestry.

Andean compared with european women are protected from altitude-associated intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR)
(s.n., 2003)
Abstract.
Babies born at high altitude to long-term high-altitude residents weigh more than those of recent migrants from low altitude. Objective: We asked whether a gradient exists such that persons of Andean ancestry ...
