Andean high-altitude ancestry does not protect from acute mountain sickness and altitude-induced arterial hypoxemia
(Interciencia Association, 2017)
It is thought that adaptive changes protect high-altitude populations against altitude-induced diseases, but information from well controlled studies is lacking. In a prospective, controlled study, we assessed the prevalence ...
High altitude reduces infection rate of COVID-19 but not case-fatality rate
(ElsevierNL, 2020)
Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) is a pandemic caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It is suggested that life at high altitude may reduce COVID infections and case-fatality rates ...
Physiologically driven, altitude-adaptive model for the interpretation of pediatric oxygen saturation at altitudes above 2,000 m a.s.l.
(American Physiological Society, 2019)
Measuring peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) with pulse oximeters at the point of care is widely established. However, since SpO2 is dependent on ambient atmospheric pressure, the distribution of SpO2 values in populations ...

Altitude, heredity and body proportions in northern Chile
(1979)
Recent studies of the effects of hypoxia on human growth and adult size have focused mainly on the variability of single measurements. In this paper we explore changes with altitude and ethnicity (Spanish‐Aymara ancestry) ...
Effect of altitude on mortality of end-stage renal disease patients on hemodialysis in Peru
(Oxford University Press, 2020)
Background: In Latin America, the prevalence of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) has risen tremendously during the last decade. Previous studies have suggested that receiving dialysis at high altitude confers mortality ...
