Abstract des Autors
Travel to terrestrial altitudes greater than 2.500 m, for more than 2 to 3 days, results in acute and long-term physiologic adaptations with the potential to profoundly affect the requirements for some nutritients. This article discusses the evidence for these increased requirements and makes recommendations regarding appropriate intakes at high altitude. Discussion of nutritients includes energy and the food components that supply it (i.e., protein, carbohydrate, and fat), water, vitamins, and minerals. Because the anorexia associated with high altitude exposure may limit the intake of adequate nutrients, a food and water regimen, or "doctrine", is proposed and described. Verf.-Referat
