Coca Chewing and High-Altitude Stress
Andean Indians who chew coca seek to alleviate symptoms of hunger, thirst, fatigue, cold, and pain. A complete explanation of coca's use should account for these motives. The distribution of coca chewing in the Andes is shown to parallel that of polycythemia. Coca chewing is more common in higher altitudes, with men consistently chewing more than women and children, and chewing is especially common amongst mineworkers. Since androgens stimulate e…
Cardiorespiratory characteristics and adaptation to high altitudes
The lowered partial pressure of oxygen at high altitude is one of the severest and most pervasive environmental stresses affecting human populations. Virtually all organ systems and physiological functions are affected by hypoxia, and only elaborate modern technology can temporarily ameliorate the hypoxic stress of altitude exposure. The biological and behavioral responses of newcomers, sojourners, and native residents at higher elevations could …
The oxygen cost of breathing in man
The oxygen cost of breathing was determined by an open‐circuit method with voluntary hyperventilation over a wide range of volumes. In 11 lowland residents the oxygen cost (ml/1 STPD) of extra ventilation (BTPS) was 3.3 ml/1 at sea level and 2.1 ml/1 after 16 days at 4000 m; the corresponding cost for ventilation STPD was 4.2 ml/1 at altitude and 4.1 ml/1 at sea level. In acclimatized persons at altitude, including both native Indian and European…
Neonatal mortality and altitude in Peru
Analysis of Peruvian census materials shows an increase of neonatal mortality with altitude. This increase is analagous to, but greater than, that known to obtain in the United States population. Neonatal mortality in the highlands of Peru averages from 50 to 60 deaths per 1,000 live births, about double that of the lowlands. The association of neonatal mortality with elevation appears partially diminished when other areal differences are conside…
