A comparative analysis of lung function and spirometry parameters in genotype-controlled natives living at low and high altitude

The reference values for lung function are associated to anatomical and lung morphology parameters, but anthropometry it is not the only influencing factor: altitude and genetics are two important agents affecting respiratory physiology. Altitude and its influence on respiratory function has been st...
