"Living at high altitude reduces risk of dying from heart disease", but you're litereally locked in your house because the sun takes every chance to fry you. I'm okay with not reducing my risk of dying from heart disease.

So easy to protect from the sun and the reward in the mountains is so wonderful. Terrible waste to stay locked in.

Wouldn’t be surprised if this were another contributor to less heart disease- so much incentive to get outside and do stuff.

No, you just wear long sleeve shirts and a hat.

Wait that was super short. I liked this article I wanted it to be longer.

There's an old aviation adage that says that time spent flying isn't deductible from one's lifespan. This article supports that. :-)

Just don't try to have a baby up there.

I would guess OP is referring to the association with lowered birth weight due to chronic hypoxia: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7050200/

On the contrary, do people who live high above for years have any trouble when coming back down?
