Andean compared with european women are protected from altitude-associated intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR)
Moore, Lorna G; Armaza, Fernando; Keyes, L; Borth, R; Niermeyer, Susan; Villena, Mercedes; MacCannell, Wendy; Vargas, Enrique (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 ... -
Comparative aspects of high-altitude adaptation in human populations
Moore, Lorna G; Armaza, Fernando; Villena, Mercedes; Vargas, Enrique (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 ... -
High-altitude ancestry protects against IUGR and reductions in birth weight associated with high altitude and preeclampsia
Julian, Colleen Glyde; Vargas, Enrique; MacCannell, Wendy; Armaza, Fernando; Moore, Lorna G (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. ... -

Intrauterine growth restriction, preeclampsia, and intrauterine mortality at high altitude in Bolivia
Keyes, LE; Armaza, Fernando; Niermeyer, Susan; Vargas, Enrique; Young, David A; Moore, Lorna G (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 ...
