Abstract

Horiuchi, Masahiro, Satomi Mitsui, and Tadashi Uno. Influence of smoking and alcohol habits on symptoms of acute mountain sickness on Mount Fuji: a questionnaire survey-based pilot study. High Alt Med Biol 00:000-000, 2024. Background: Acute cigarette smoking or alcohol intake would cause opposing vasculature effects that may influence acute mountain sickness (AMS). The present study aimed to investigate the effects of smoking and alcohol consumption behaviors, and acute smoking and consuming alcohol during ascent on AMS on Mount Fuji. Methods: This questionnaire survey study included 887 participants who climbed Mount Fuji and obtained information regarding sex, age, and smoking and alcohol habits, including behavior during ascent. Results: AMS prevalence was 45% for all participants. A univariate analysis revealed that younger participants (20-29 years) were associated with increased AMS prevalence (effect size [ES] = 0.102, p = 0.057) and severity (ES = 0.18, p = 0.01). A prediction model using multiple logistic regression indicated that several factors influenced AMS risk: younger age (p = 0.001), daily smoking habits (p = 0.021), no smoking (p = 0.033), or alcohol consumption during ascent (p = 0.096). Alcohol consumption during ascent had no effect on the increased AMS risk in younger participants (20-29 years), while alcohol consumption during ascent increased AMS risk for middle-age participants (50-59 years). Conclusion: Younger individuals are more likely to experience AMS. Smoking habits are associated with an increased AMS risk. It may be recommended that middle-aged climbers should ascend without consuming alcohol.

吸烟和饮酒习惯对富士山急性晕山症症状的影响:基于问卷调查的试点研究。
Horiuchi, Masahiro, Satomi Mitsui, and Tadashi Uno.吸烟和饮酒习惯对富士山急性登山病症状的影响:基于问卷调查的试点研究。High Alt Med Biol 00:000-000, 2024.背景:急性吸烟或饮酒会对血管产生相反的影响,从而可能影响急性登山病(AMS)。本研究旨在调查吸烟和饮酒行为以及登山过程中急性吸烟和饮酒对富士山急性登山病的影响。研究方法这项问卷调查研究纳入了 887 名攀登富士山的参与者,并获得了有关性别、年龄、吸烟和饮酒习惯(包括登山时的行为)的信息。调查结果显示所有参与者的 AMS 患病率为 45%。单变量分析表明,登山者年龄越小(20-29 岁),AMS 发病率(效应大小 [ES] = 0.102,p = 0.057)和严重程度(效应大小 [ES] = 0.18,p = 0.01)越高。使用多重逻辑回归建立的预测模型显示,有几个因素会影响 AMS 风险:年龄较小(p = 0.001)、日常吸烟习惯(p = 0.021)、不吸烟(p = 0.033)或上升过程中饮酒(p = 0.096)。在上升过程中饮酒对年轻参与者(20-29 岁)的急性呼吸系统综合症风险增加没有影响,而在上升过程中饮酒则会增加中年参与者(50-59 岁)的急性呼吸系统综合症风险。结论是年轻人更容易发生高山反应。吸烟习惯与急性呼吸系统综合症风险增加有关。建议中年登山者在登山时不要饮酒。

期刊介绍: High Altitude Medicine & Biology is the only peer-reviewed journal covering the medical and biological issues that impact human life at high altitudes. The Journal delivers critical findings on the impact of high altitude on lung and heart disease, appetite and weight loss, pulmonary and cerebral edema, hypertension, dehydration, infertility, and other diseases. It covers the full spectrum of high altitude life sciences from pathology to human and animal ecology.
