Sixty percent (60%) mean hematocrit in an andean human population permanently exposed to extreme life conditions
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2010-08-08)
Introduction: Located over 5435 m, La Rinconada in the
district of Puno, Peru is the highest urban centre in the
world. This altitude, at which the barometric pressure
(BP ¼ 400 mmHg), and the partial oxygen pressure
(PpO2 ...
Excessive polycythemia occurs in young high-altitude (3600 M) residents in the absence of lung disease
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2002-04-18)
Objective: Chronic Mountain Sickness occurs in , 8% of the La Paz
population. We asked whether its primary diagnostic sign, excessive polycythemia (EP), occurred in youngeraged persons

Offspring of preeclamptic mothers are predisposed to hypoxic pulmonary hypertension
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2005-02-22)
Adverse events in utero may predispose to cardiovascular disease in adulthood. In preeclampsia, the diseased placenta releases circulating vasculotoxic factors
that cause maternal endothelial dysfunction. These factors ...
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, ...

Exaggerated pulmonary hypertension during mild exercise in chronic mountain sickness
(CHEST, 2010-02)
Background: Chronic mountain sickness (CMS) is an important public health problem and is characterized by exaggerated hypoxemia, erythrocytosis, and pulmonary hypertension. While pulmonary hypertension is a leading cause ...
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 ...
Gender differentiation of the chemoreflex during growth at high altitude : functional and nerurochemical studies

The effect of chronic hypoxia on
gender differences in physiology and neurochemistry of chemosensory pathways was studied in prepubertal and adult rats
living at sea level (SL; Lyon, France) or at high altitude (HA;
La ...
Permormance of altitude acclimatized and non-acclimatized professional football (soccer) players at 3,600 M
(Journal of Exercise Physiology, 2000-04-02)
European football (soccer)
matches frequently are played at the international level in mountainous regions of South America. In this study, the exercise
response during cycle ergometry and the rate of football match ...
Changes in blood gas transport of altitude native soccer players near sea-level and sea-level native soccer players at altitude (ISA3600)
(Br J Sports Med, 2013-09-03)
Abstract.
Objectives The optimal strategy for soccer teams
playing at altitude is not known, that is, ‘fly-in, fly-out’
versus short-term acclimatisation. Here, we document
changes in blood gas and vascular volumes of ...
