| Definitions |
Multiple symptoms associated with reduced oxygen at high altitude. A pathological effect of high altitude on humans, occurring when exposure to low partial pressure of oxygen, typically at high altitudes, causes hypoxia (a decrease in the amount of oxygen in the body). It commonly occurs above 2,400 metres (8,000 feet). It presents as a collection of nonspecific symptoms, resembling a case of "flu, carbon monoxide poisoning, or a hangover". It is hard to determine who will be affected by altitude sickness, as there are no specific factors that correlate with a susceptibility to altitude sickness. However, most people can ascend to 2,400 metres (8,000 ft) without difficulty. |
