The present study was designed to determine if symptoms of acute mountain sickness are presented within six hours after arrival at high altitude. Seventeen male subjects, 23–30 years, were studied. The subjects were professional soccer players, life-long residents at low altitudes except one player who was playing soccer in a team at 3400 m (512 mm Hg of Barometric Pressure) during an entire year in 1995.

The sample included 59 urban Mestizo children, 7-8 years of age, who were born to adolescent mothers, and 73 urban Mestizo children of the same age, who were born to adult mothers (>20 years). Visuomotor development was assessed using the Bender test. Children born t…
Age at menarche in Peruvian girls at sea level and at high altitude
The objective of the present study was to determine median age at menarche using the status quo method and the independent effects of ethnic background and socioeconomic status on the age at menarche in Peruvian girls from two distinct levels at altitude: Lima (150 m) and Cerro de Pasco (4,340 m). The sample included 503 girls from Lima and 625 girls from Cerro de Pasco, ages 10-18 years. Ethnic background was determined by four parental surnames…
