Environment, migration and health in Southern Peru
A health questionnaire was given to three populations of Peruvians: low-altitude sedentes, low-altitude migrants and high-altitude migrants, all of whom resided in the same low-altitude valley. Estimates of health were computed for each individual by summing the number of symptoms reported in the qu...

Environment, migration and health in Southern Peru |
abstract |
A health questionnaire was given to three populations of Peruvians: low-altitude sedentes, low-altitude migrants and high-altitude migrants, all of whom resided in the same low-altitude valley. Estimates of health were computed for each individual by summing the number of symptoms reported in the questionnaire.In general, male and female high-altitude migrants reported more symptoms than low-altitude sedentes. Female low-altitude migrants also reported more symptoms than did female sedentes, while there were virtually no differences between male low-altitude migrants and sedentes. Differences in numbers of days ill and the inability to work due to illness paralleled the differences in reported symptoms. It is suggested that the population differences are primarily the result of changes in the physical and cultural environments which are related to migration; high-altitude migrants being more affected than low-altitude migrants because of the greater degree of change they experience in migrating from high to low altitude.Specifically male high-altitude migrants reported significantly more gastrointestinal symptoms while both males and females reported significantly greater numbers of respiratory symptoms. Although the source of the former difference is unclear, it is felt that the increase in respiratory symptoms is a result of biological adaptations to high altitude which are no longer functional at low altitude. |

Estimates of health were computed for each individual by summing the number of symptoms reported in the questionnaire.In general, male and female high-altitude migrants reported more symptoms than low-altitude sedentes. Female low-altitude migrants also reported more symptoms than did female sedentes, while there were virtually no differences between male low-altitude migrants and sedentes. Differences in numbers of days ill and the inability to work due to illness paralleled the differences in reported symptoms. It is suggested that the population differences are primarily the result of changes in the physical and cultural environments which are related to migration; high-altitude migrants being more affected than low-altitude migrants because of the greater degree of change they experience in migrating from high to low altitude.Specifically male high-altitude migrants reported significantly more gastrointestinal symptoms while both males and females reported significantly greater numbers of respiratory symptoms. Although the source of the former difference is unclear, it is felt that the increase in respiratory symptoms is a result of biological adaptations to high altitude which are no longer functional at low altitude.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="533" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="f">Elsevier Journal Backfiles on ScienceDirect 1907 - 2002</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Dutt, J.S.</subfield><subfield code="4">oth</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Baker, P.T.</subfield><subfield code="4">oth</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="773" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">in</subfield><subfield code="t">Social Science and Medicine.
