Figure Lake Louise Score (LLS) in the 2 groups at 1154 and 4559 m. The central box represents the values from the lower to the upper quartiles. The middle line represents the median. The vertical line extends from the minimum to the maximum value. *P < .05, Student’s t test. LAR, low altitude residents; MAR, moderate altitude residents.
