| Resumen : | Introducción: Alrededor del mundo se conoce que cerca de 140 millones de personas residen sobre los 2500 metros sobre el nivel del mar m.s.n.m... |
| Descripción : | Background: Around the world, it is known that about 140 million people reside over 2,500 meters above the sea level (m.s.n.m). Acute and chronic exposure has direct effects on pulmonary physiology. In Ecuador 6 million people reside in the plateau, that is why studying the physiological differences between these populations is important. Objectives: The objective of this research is to analyze the lung function through a spirometric study in two populations of the same ethnic group in which one is located at low and the other at high altitude. Methods: This is an analytical observational cross-sectional study, where the spirometric differences were established in terms of lung function between two populations that reside at different heights. The Kichwa population of Limoncocha (252 m.s.n.m) and that of Oyacachi (3800 m.s.n.m.). The sociodemographic, anthropometric and spirometric information survey of the differences between the variables were compared by population, sex and age group. The statistical tests used were, Chi square to analyze association or independence of categorical variables, while for quantitative variables T-Test was used to compare two means, ANOVA for more than two and in the case that the variables did not meet the criteria of normality, Kruskal Wallis test was used to compare more than two groups. Results: 147 people met the inclusion criteria, of which 71 people belonged to Oyacachi and 76 to Limoncocha. The population of Limoncocha (n equal 76), 51 percent (n equal 39) were women and 49 percent (n equal 37) were men, while in Oyacachi (n equal 71) women represented 58 percent (n equal 41) and men 42 percent (n equal 30). For the high-altitude group, the mean age was 36.8 plus minus11.4 years in women and 37.0 plus minus13.1 years in men, meanwhile for Amazon group it was 38.3 plus minus 12.7 years in women and 40.4 plus minus 14.6 years in men. In the study of lung function, it was found that the Oyacachi had higher FVC values than those in the Amazon for men (IC: -0.74 - -0.93) and women (CI: -0.50 - -0.13) respectively. Finally, when analyzing the spirometric patterns it was found that the majority of the Kichwa population tends to have normal spirometric patterns; however, there is 12.9 percent of individuals with restrictive patterns. Conclusion: Residents of Oyacachi had grater lung capacity than their peers from the Amazon; indicating a greater pulmonary capacity, physiologically plausible according to published literature. When analyzing the spirometric patterns obtained in these populations it was evident that no person had an obstructive pattern, while on the other hand, the restrictive pattern appeared in both Kichwa populations (Limoncocha and Oyacachi) in 12.9 percent although it is clear that there is a predominance of this in the individuals belonging to Limoncocha. |
