dc.description.abstract | Mean hemoglobin concentration of 3511 adult males derived from 19 studies of Andean male permanent residents and 10 studies of Himalayan male permanent residents were compared with reference to partial pressure of inspired oxygen. The regression equation (weighted for sample size) of PO2 and hemoglobin concentration of the Andean miners is significantly (P O2 and Hb is similar in the non-mining Andean and Himalayan samples. These findings suggest that the observed differences in hemoglobin concentration between Andean and Himalayan samples are due, in part, to the inclusion of miners in the Andean samples. The higher barometric pressure associated with the north latitude location of the Himalayans may also contribute to decrease the hypoxic stress in the Himalayas. The present data suggest that Andeans and Himalayans have a similar hemopoetic response to hypoxic stress. | en_US |
