Background: This study aimed to investigate whether and how high altitude-associated ambient hypoxia affects insulin sensitivity in mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD).
Methods:
OBJECTIVE
Although few retrospective studies of high altitude have reported that obesity might be associated with the development of acute mountain sickness (AMS), this association has not been fully studied prospectively. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of obesity on subjects
BACKGROUND
Although few retrospective studies of high altitude have reported that obesity might be associated with the development of acute mountain sickness (AMS), this association has not been studied prospectively.
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether obesity is associated with the development of
OBJECTIVE
This study determined the prevalence of chronic mountain sickness (CMS) and its predisposing factors among natives of Spiti Valley in the northern state of Indian Himalayas. A cross-sectional survey study was conducted in natives of Spiti Valley aged ≥ 20 years residing at altitudes of
Acute mountain sickness (AMS) can occur upon rapid ascent from low to high altitude. This study examined the association between central adiposity and the development of AMS in young adults during a high-altitude hike. Total and regional body fat were measured at sea level using dual-energy X-ray
OBJECTIVE
To study the acute mountain sickness (AMS) and the influence the altitude has on individuals according to time of exposure, age and place of residence. Study cohort prospective in the shelters of Cotopaxi and Chimborazo (4,800 and 5,000 m), in the Ecuatorian Andes.
METHODS
Tourists from 8
Cold and hypoxia are critical drivers of adaptation to high altitudes. Organisms at high altitudes have adapted to maximize the efficiency of oxygen utilization and are less prone to obesity and diabetes than those at low altitudes. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) dissipates energy in the form of heat in
Obesity, a worldwide epidemic, has become a major health burden because it is usually accompanied by an increased risk for insulin resistance, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, and even some kinds of cancer. It also results in associated increases in healthcare expenditures and labor
Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is a potentially lethal condition caused by acute hypoxia after ascending to altitudes higher than 2500 m in a short time. The main symptom of AMS is headache. Numerous risk factors of AMS have been examined, including gender, obesity, ascent rate, age and individual
OBJECTIVE
To determine the incidence of acute mountain sickness in a general population of visitors to moderate elevations, the characteristics associated with it, and its effect on physical activity.
METHODS
A cross-sectional study.
METHODS
Resort communities located at 6300 to 9700 feet elevation
High altitude exposure is often accompanied by weight loss. Postulated mechanisms are a reduction of nutritional energy intake, a reduction of intestinal energy uptake from impaired intestinal function and increased energy expenditure. Beyond the field of altitude, there are good reasons for renewed
