Abstract

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 stature ranges from minimal in males and none in females to a maximum of 3 cm in both sexes. The magnitude of this effect is relatively small compared to the potential effect of other factors which affect the growth of highland children.

摘要

描述了居住在玻利维亚拉巴斯（海拔3600米）的351名欧洲血统的高社会经济地位儿童（9至20岁）的身体生长情况，并与背景相似的低地儿童进行了比较。目的是评估在生长发育期间持续暴露于大气低氧对线性生长的独立影响。此处呈现的数据表明，低氧对已达到身高的影响在男性中最小，在女性中无影响，在两性中最大为3厘米。与影响高地儿童生长的其他因素的潜在影响相比，这种影响的程度相对较小。
