2014, HAYATI Journal of BiosciencesCitation Excerpt :These conditions require greater physical and physiological activity from children, than the conditions in low altitude (Hastuti 2005; Malhotra et al. 2006; Singh et al. 2007). Several studies show a pattern low birth weight and reduced childhood growth in people living at high altitude (Yip et al. 1988; Jensen & Moore 1997; Lestari 2006). However, other studies have found little or no difference in growth between children living at low and high altitudes (Freyre & Ortiz 1988; Hastuti 2005).
Climate variability and child height in rural Mexico
2012, Economics and Human BiologyCitation Excerpt :Given the differences in the average climate in the regions (Table 1), we separate the children into three regions and carry out the analyses separately. Furthermore, there is evidence that altitude and birth weight are related (Jensen and Moore, 1997; Yip et al., 1988; Wehby et al., 2010) and that the effects become significant at altitudes greater than 1500 m (Yip, Binkin and Trowbridge, 1988).23 To complement the regional results and to investigate whether the effects of weather shocks are different at different altitudes, we also analyze the impact for children living in low altitudes (less than 1500 m above sea level) and for children living in high altitudes (more than 1500 m above sea level).
