High-altitude ancestry protects against hypoxia-associated reductions in fetal growth

28 Feb 2007

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: The chronic hypoxia of high-altitude (>/=2500 m) residence has been shown to decrease birth weight in all populations studied to date. However, multigenerational high-altitude populations appear protected relative to newcomer groups. This study aimed to determine whether such protection exists independently of other factors known to influence fetal growth and whether admixed populations (ie, people...
