In previous studies the incidence of acute mountain sickness (AMS) at medium altitude was examined in the Austrian Alps, where many tourists come from low parts of Europe. This study assesses the influence of the height of home residence on the incidence of AMS at medium altitude. The severity of high-altitude adaptation disorder was quantified by using a scoring system after an interview and a clinical examination in 84 lowlanders, mainly those from Hungary. Forty-two alpinists with a home residence of 800 to 1000 m served as control. The incidence of AMS was 1.4% at 2000 m and 7.4% in 3000 m. The most frequent symptoms were slight headache and peripheral or periorbital oedema. The AMS-score of the Hungarian alpinists did not differ significantly from that of the alpinists with a home residence of height 800 to 1000 m.
in contrast to the situation at high altitude, at medium height tourists from lowlands are not at higher risk of AMS than other alpinists.
在之前的研究中，奥地利阿尔卑斯山地区调查了中度海拔地区急性高原病（AMS）的发病率，该地区有许多来自欧洲低海拔地区的游客。本研究评估了家乡居住地海拔高度对中度海拔地区急性高原病发病率的影响。通过访谈和临床检查，采用评分系统对84名主要来自匈牙利的低海拔居民（低地人）的高原适应障碍严重程度进行了量化。42名家乡居住地海拔在800至1000米的登山运动员作为对照。急性高原病的发病率在2000米处为1.4%，在3000米处为7.4%。最常见的症状是轻微头痛和外周或眶周水肿。匈牙利登山运动员的急性高原病评分与家乡居住地海拔为800至1000米的登山运动员没有显著差异。
与高海拔地区的情况不同，在中度海拔地区，来自低地的游客患急性高原病的风险并不高于其他登山运动员。
