Andean women have greater uterine artery (UTA) enlargement during pregnancy than european residents of 3600 m.
([s.n.], 2003)
Abstract.
Babies weigh less at high altitude but multi-generational high-altitude residents are protected from this birth weight decline (Moore HAMB 2001). Objective: We asked if higher arterial oxygenation and/or blood ...
Change in body water distribution index in infants who become stunted between 4 and 18 months of age
(European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2003-08)
Objective.
To evaluate body composition changes using bioelectrical impedance analysis and skinfold thickness measurements in infants from tropical areas who become stunted between 4–18 months of age.
Design and measurements: ...
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 ...
Rendimiento de futbolistas profesionales aclimatados y no aclimatados a la altura, a 3600 metros
(PubliCE, 2003-01-05)
Resumen.
Los partidos del Fútbol Europeo son frecuentemente jugados a nivel internacional en regiones montañosas de Sudamérica. En este estudio, fueron medidas las respuestas del ejercicio durante una ergometría en ciclo ...
Protective effect of female sex hormones against pulmonary hypertension in Bolivian high altitude natives
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2003-02-19)
There is abundant evidence that female sex hormones have protective effects in the systemic circulation in both animals and humans,
but little is known regarding their role in the regulation of the pulmonary circulation. ...
Uterine artery blood flow during pregnancy in high-altitude aymara women
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2003-02-19)
Background.
Birth weight falls with increasing altitude as the result of
intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) likely due, in turn, to lower uterine artery (UtA) blood flow. The altitude-associated birth weight decline
is ...
Epidemiological transitions, reproductive health, and the Flexible Response Model
(ECONOMICS AND HUMAN BIOLOGY, 2003)
Abstract.
In concert with improving standards of living since the mid-19th century, chronic and non-infectious diseases replaced infectious diseases as the major causes of mortality in more developed countries. Thus, ...
European genetic admixture predicts decrement in aerobic performance at 4338 meters in peruvian quechua
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2003-02-19)
Quechua natives of the highland Andes may be genetically
adapted to high altitude and thus able to resist decrements in maximal O2 consumption in hypoxia (DVO2max). This evolutionary hypothesis was tested via the repeated ...

Regression-based prediction of net energy expenditure in children performing activities at high altitude
(American Journal of Human Biology, 2003-01-06)
Abstract.
We developed a simple, non-invasive, and affordable method for estimating net energy expenditure (EE) in children performing activities at high altitude. A regression-based method ...
