Tibetan protection from intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and reproductive loss at high altitude

Article Abstract:

Adaptation to high altitudes by Tibetans is suggested by a study comparing intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and prenatal or postnatal reproductive loss among Tibetans and Han living at 2700-4700 m in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. The Tibetans, who have lived at high altitudes longer, experience less altitude-associated IUGR and lower prenatal and postnatal mortality rates.

Birth weight Tibetans at different altitudes in India: Are Tibetans better protected from IUGR?

Article Abstract:

A report on the variation in birth weight among the Tibetans at different altitudes in India to test the hypothesis of greater protection from intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) among Tibetan compared with other high altitude-native population is presented. The findings are similar to the previous data obtained for other high-altitude native populations.

Growth among Tibetans at high and low altitudes in India

Article Abstract:

The physical growth of Tibetans living in India at different altitudes at three Tibetan refugee settlements is discussed. It is revealed that Tibetans living at high altitudes are taller as compared to those living in low altitude areas.
