Salivary/Serum Progesterone Ratio Differs Between Menstrual Cycle Phases but Not Between Populations
Objectives Many investigations of human health, behaviors, and adaptations require an indicator of ovarian cycle functioning as a causal, outcome, or confounding variable in the study design and analyses. Because the dynamic fluctuations in cycle hormones can rarely be adequately characterized by a single measurement, but repeated blood sampling can be onerous, salivary free progesterone (P Free‐SAL ) concentration is widely used in both clinical…
C‐reactive protein (CRP) in high altitude Bolivian peri‐urban adolescents varies by adiposity, current illness, height, socioeconomic status, sex, and menarcheal status
OBJECTIVES: In non-industrialized and low-income populations, adipose stores can serve as a valuable buffer against harsh conditions such as seasonal food scarcity. However, these reserves may incur costs due to adipocytes' production of pro-inflammatory cytokines; inflammation is associated with increased risk for cardiometabolic diseases later in life. Life history theory posits that, especially in populations with high juvenile mortality, high…
Seasonal and circadian variation in salivary testosterone in rural Bolivian men
Testosterone (T) plays a key role in the increase and maintenance of muscle mass and bone density in adult men. Life history theory predicts that environmental stress may prompt a reallocation of such investments to those functions critical to survival. We tested this hypothesis in two studies of rural Bolivian adult men by comparing free T levels and circadian rhythms during late winter, which is especially severe, to those in less arduous seaso…
Effect of developmental and ancestral high altitude exposure on chest morphology and pulmonary function in Andean and European/North American natives
Chest depth, chest width, forced vital capacity (FVC), and forced expiratory volume (FEV1) were measured in 170 adult males differing by ancestral (genetic) and developmental exposure to high altitude (HA). A complete migrant study design was used to study HA natives (Aymara/Quechua ancestry, n = 88) and low altitude (LA) natives (European/North American ancestry, n = 82) at both altitude (La Paz, Bolivia, 3,600 m) and near sea level (Santa Cruz,…
Effect of developmental and ancestral high-altitude exposure on ??O2peak of Andean and European/North American Natives
Peak oxygen consumption (VO(2)peak) was measured in 150 adult males (18-35 years old) in Bolivia, using a complete migrant study design to partition developmental from ancestral (genetic) effects of high-altitude (HA) exposure. High-altitude natives (HANs, Aymara/Quechua ancestry, n = 75) and low-altitude natives (LANs, European/North American ancestry, n = 75) were studied at high altitude (3,600-3,850 m) and near sea level (420 m). HAN and LAN …
Total lung capacity in young highlanders of Aymara ancestry
Total lung capacity (TLC) and its components, including residual volume (RV) and vital capacity (VC), are described in a sample of 164 male and 143 female youths of Aymara ancestry (10.0–19.9 years) who were born and raised at high altitudes (> 2,500 m) and who were residing in La Paz, Bolivia (average altitude of about 3,600 m). The hypothesis was tested that the enhanced lung volumes of adult highlanders are attained during the period of growth…
Effect of altitude on the lung function of high altitude residents of European ancestry
The forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV), and ratio of FEV to FVC (%FEV) of 161 male and 158 female youths of European ancestry who were born at high altitudes and who were residing in La Paz, Bolivia (average altitude of 3,600 m) were examined and compared with those for lowland Europeans and highland Aymara Amerindians. FVC and FEV were significantly larger (p
Lung function of young Aymara highlanders
The patterns of development of FVC, FEV and %FEV are examined in 217 male and 195 female youths of Aymara ancestry residing in La Paz, Bolivia (altitude 3600 m). The data provide some evidence of an acceleration in the development of lung function relative to stature in Aymara children, beginning during early adolescence, and also indicate that there is a strong relationship between lung function and chest dimensions in Aymara children. Similar p…
Effect of altitude on the physical growth of upper-class children of European ancestry
The physical growth of 351 upper-socioeconomic-status children (9-20 years) of European ancestry residing in La Paz, Bolivia (altitude 3600 m) is described and compared with that of lowland children of similar background. The purpose is to evaluate the independent effect of continual exposure to atmospheric hypoxia during the period of growth and development on linear growth. The data presented here indicate that the effect of hypoxia on achieved…
The physical growth of urban children at high altitude
The physical growth of urban Aymara children residing in La Paz, Bolivia (3,600 m) is described and compared with Amerindian children residing at low and high altitudes and with low‐altitude U.S. children. The sample consists of 227 males (10.6–19.7 yr) and 219 females (11.2–19.8 yr). The urban La Paz children were taller at all ages than rural high altitude Amerindian children but similar in stature to urban high altitude children from Peru. The…
