Remarkably, the incidence, virus transmission capacity, and severity of COVID-19 have been reported to be significantly decreased in high-altitude human populations. The clinical significance of these findings is enormous, as they suggest that permanent inhabitants of high altitudes have developed adaptive protective changes against certain pathologies. However, these observations have been overshadowed by contradictory reports on the COVID-19 mortality rate at high altitude, ascribed to low population densities. These interpretations, however, fail to consider that the environmental conditions of high-altitude regions of the temperate and tropical geographical zones are radically different from each other. Contrary to common thought, the conditions of high-altitude areas of countries within the tropical zone are so benign that they have favored the growth and development of densely populated cities. In this work, we use data from a COVID-19 database covering five Latin American countries in the tropical and subtropical geographic zone that corresponded to the period between the start of the pandemic and the end of 2020, when no vaccine was yet available. Our results reveal that residing above 1,000 m in tropical countries was a protective factor against COVID-19 mortality. Interestingly, this protective effect was independent of population size. The findings presented here, and those from other similar studies, substantiate the need for more research to reveal the secrets of the physiology of permanent high-altitude residents. In conclusion, our findings clearly demonstrate that the high-altitude environment in tropical and subtropical geographic zones significantly contributes to the decreased mortality impact of the SARS-COV-2 virus in high-altitude-exposed populations.https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0100-1940Revista Internacional - No indexadaNoSARS-CoV-2 first waveACE2Chronic hypobaric hypoxiaTolerance to hypoxia119Medical Research Archives118ORIGINALCOVID-19 Mortality Is Attenuated at High Tropical and Subtropical Altitude An Observational Study of a Database Covering Five Latin American Countri.pdfCOVID-19 Mortality Is Attenuated at High Tropical and Subtropical Altitude An Observational Study of a Database Covering Five Latin American Countri.pdfArtículoapplication/pdf1068149http://repository.javeriana.edu.co/bitstream/10554/65398/1/COVID-19%20Mortality%20Is%20Attenuated%20at%20High%20Tropical%20and%20Subtropical%20Altitude%20An%20Observational%20Study%20of%20a%20Database%20Covering%20Five%20Latin%20American%20Countri.pdf0c5040c8aaba96250ab9209e482f43e4MD51open accessLICENSElicense.txtlicense.txttext/plain;
