Summary

This ambispective cohort study aims to evaluate the effect of high altitudes environment on human's physiological and metabolic markers, specific markers of main human systems, and incidence rate and severity of chronic mountain sickness (CMS).

Conditions

  • Residence or Prolonged Visit at High Altitude as the Cause of Mountain Sickness

Interventions

OTHER

Chronic hypoxic environment

Chronic hypoxic environment. Since the partial pressure of oxygen in inspired air falls with increasing terrestrial elevation above sea level, many physiological variables in adults would be affected by the chronic hypoxia environment.
