| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have evaluated the actual conditions of hypoxic adaptation and the health status of Tibetan highlanders living in Mustang, which is located at an altitude of 3000 m or more in the northwestern part of Nepal.
From our study, it was suggested that there are many pre-diabetes residents, and that aging and hypoxemia may increase the risk of diabetes. In addition, a unique kinetics of increasing hemoglobin concentration with aging was observed in women. We also conducted a survey specifically for rheumatoid arthritis and found a higher estimated prevalence than in lowlanders. We will continue to investigate and analyze the relationship between the physiological characteristics and gender differences in these Tibetan highlanders and the intestinal flora.
