Pregnancy at high altitude study
Part of Genetic & congenital, Infections, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study follows pregnant women living at high altitude in Bolivia to understand how pregnancy differs from those at sea level. It may help improve care for mothers and babies in high-altitude regions.

This study looks at tiny particles released from blood vessels in pregnant women with high blood pressure. The goal is to find better ways to detect and manage conditions like preeclampsia.
This study looks at women who develop high blood pressure or preeclampsia during pregnancy (after 22 weeks). Researchers want to understand these conditions better and how they affect mothers and babies.
This study compares how the body responds to high altitude around the time of a planned C-section, including a signal involved in energy use. It may help researchers understand why pregnancy and blood-vessel function can differ at higher elevations.
This study is for people living at high altitudes (above 2,500 meters) to understand how the pressure in the arteries of the lungs changes over time and how it affects health. It may help doctors predict and manage heart and lung problems that can occur in high-altitude residents.
This study looks at how sleep might affect the risk of developing pre-eclampsia, especially in women living at high altitude. It compares pregnant women with and without pre-eclampsia to find sleep-related factors that could play a role.
This study tests personalized health check-up programs for people who live in low-altitude areas and plan to move to a high-altitude plateau. It aims to find the best ways to keep you healthy during and after the move.
