Role of genetic and environmental factors in the increased blood pressures of Bolivian blacks
(American Journal of Human Biology, 1999)
Abstract.
The tendency toward hypertension or higher blood pressure is more common in blacks than whites. The factors that account for these differences are attributed to both environmental and genetic factors. To clarify ...
Aportes de la pletismografía corporal total al estudio de la adaptación respiratoria a la vida en altura
(Universidad Mayor de San Andrés, 1990)
Resumen.
Los procesos de adaptación a la vida en la altura son permanentemente estudiados y el avance de la tecnología, permite conocer aspectos cada vez más novedosos. El objetivo del estudio de parámetros respiratorios ...
Developmental, genetic, and environmental components of aerobic capacity at high altitude
(American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1995)
Abstract.
The aerobic capacity of 268 subjects (158 males and 110 females) was evaluated in La Paz, Bolivia situated at 3,750 m. The sample included 1) 39 high altitude rural natives (all male); 2) 67 high altitude urban ...

Developmental components of resting ventilation among high - and low-altitude andean children and adults
(American Journal of Physical Anthroplogy, 1999)
ABSTRACT.
This paper evaluates the age-associated changes of resting
ventilation of 115 high- and low-altitude Aymara subjects, of whom 61 were
from the rural Aymara village of Ventilla situated at an average altitude ...
Percent of oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin among Bolivian aymara at 3,900-4000 m
(American Journal of Physical Anthroplogy, 1999)
ABSTRACT.
A range of variation in percent of oxygen saturation of
arterial hemoglobin (SaO2) among healthy individuals at a given high
altitude indicates differences in physiological hypoxemia despite uniform
ambient ...
The effects of smoking on a high altitude population. (La Paz, Bolivia, 3600m or 12,200ft)
(Tobacco and Health, 1990)
Barometric pressure (PB) decreases with increasing a altitude. Since oxygen concentration is about 21% in the air of
the whole atmosphere, its partial pressure is also 21% of PB. At the altitude of La Paz (3600)m or ...

Hemoglobin concentration of high-altitude Tibetans and Bolivian Aymara
(American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1998)
Abstract.
Elevated hemoglobin concentrations have been reported for high-altitude sojourners and Andean high-altitude natives since early in the 20th century. Thus, reports that have appeared since the 1970s describing ...
Developmental, genetic, and environmental components of lung volumes at high altitude
(Am. J. Hum. Biol., 1997)
ABSTRACT
Vital capacity and residual lung volume (in terms of 1/min or ml/m2 of body surface area) of 357 subjects (205 males, 152 females) was evaluated in La Paz, Bolivia, situated at 3,750 m. The sample included: (1) ...
