Abstract

 

As  many  high-altitude  regions  of  the  world  become  more  popular holiday  destinations,  travellers  need  to  understand  how  to  prepare  for  high-altitude  travel  and  how  to  deal  with  its  potential  consequences.  In  this  article, Professor Andrew Peacock looks at the effects of high altitude on the human body and discusses how to prevent or treat diseases associated with, or made worse by, high altitude.
