"The disease is mine, the body is mine, I decide": Individual, interpersonal, and institutional barriers and facilitators among survivors of women's cancers in Andean countries
(Taylor and Francis, 2018)
Recent national cancer plans address high cancer mortality in Latin America, particularly in Andean countries. Little is known about which individual, interpersonal, and institutional facilitators and barriers persist, ...
Relationships Between Chemoreflex Responses, Sleep Quality, and Hematocrit in Andean Men and Women
(Frontiers Media, 2020)
Andean highlanders are challenged by chronic hypoxia and many exhibit elevated hematocrit (Hct) and blunted ventilation compared to other high-altitude populations. While many Andeans develop Chronic Mountain Sickness (CMS) ...
Cultivating women's empowerment through agritourism: Evidence from Andean communities
(MDPI Open Access Publishing, 2019-06)
Tourism has the potential to empower women, particularly in rural areas. However, little is known about whether it can have the same effect in Andean communities, mainly because the traditional social and cultural structures ...

Determinants of blood oxygenation during pregnancy in Andean and Europeas residents of high altitude
(Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol, 2007-07-02)
High altitude decreases birth weight,
but this effect is diminished in long vs. short-resident, high-altitude
populations. We asked whether women from long vs. short-resident,
high-altitude populations had higher arterial ...
Augmented uterine artery blood flow and oxygen delivery protect andeans from altitude-associated reductions in fetal growth
(Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol, 2009-02-20)
A b s t r a c t The effect of high altitude on reducing birth weight is markedly less in
populations of high- (e.g., Andeans) relative to low-altitude origin
(e.g., Europeans). Uterine artery (UA) blood flow is greater ...
Ethnic identity and well-being of andean indigenous people: The effect of individualistic and collectivist value orientations
(MDPI, 2021)
The aim of this research was to evaluate the mediating effect of the value orientations of
collectivism and individualism on the relationship between ethnic identity and well-being, the latter
conceived from the worldview ...
Higher estrogen levels during pregnancy in Andean than European residents of higy altitude suggest differences in aromatase activity
(J Clin Endocrinol Metab, 2014-08)
Context: Uteroplacental hypoxia has been reported to lower estrogen levels in preeclampsia as the
result of reduced aromatase activity.
Objective: We asked whether the chronic hypoxia of residence at high altitude in the ...
Reduced endothelin-1 (ET-1) and elevated nitric oxide metabolites (NOX) across pregnancy among andean vs. european women at high (3100-3600 m) altitude
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2005-02-22)
Background: A consistent reduction in infant birth
weight occurs with ascending altitude; however multigenerational high-altitude residents [Andeans] demonstrate a degree of protection from altitude-associated
IUGR ...
