Moderate altitude as a risk factor for isolated congenital malformations. Results from a case–control multicenter–multiregional study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Birth Defects Research"
DOI: 10.1002/bdr2.2335
Abstract: Living in high‐altitude regions has been associated with a higher prevalence of some birth defects. Moderate altitudes (1500–2500 m) have been associated with some congenital heart diseases and low birth weight. However, no studies have been… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00015385.2021.1976449
Abstract: Acute exposure to extreme altitude increases arterial stiffness by activation of the sympathetic and endothelin system as well as hypoxia-induced reactive oxygen species production. Beyond a certain individual threshold, these physiological adaptations represent a relevant… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000042762
Abstract: At high altitudes, increased red blood cell volume (RBCV) and reduced plasma volume (PV) complicate interpretation of hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (HCT) values. Whether moderate altitude affects these parameters remains debated. This study aimed to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/pai.12808
Abstract: Rehabilitational programs at moderate altitude (1500‐2500 m) showed improvement of lung function and reduction in airways inflammation in asthmatic adults. Allergen avoidance was postulated as the major cause of these improvements. read more here.

The Potential Role of Mitochondria in Age-Related Health Benefits Conferred by Moderate Hypoxia
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Gerontology"
DOI: 10.1159/000546478
Abstract: Abstract Background: Mitochondrial integrity and efficiency deteriorate with age and are linked to cellular senescence. Mitochondria are highly responsive to reduced oxygen availability (hypoxia), which, e.g., occurs when exposed to altitude. We hypothesize that mitochondria… read more here.
