I just read about the University of Edinburgh There is a high incidence of pneumonia in infants and children living at high altitudes among other factors, with about 30 episodes per 100 children years of observation, and there are other factors which are also associated with pneumonia in children including; overcrowding, breast feeding practices, malnutrition, micro nutrient deficiency and indoor air pollution. Between 1988 and 1991. Pneumonia was responsible for about 44% of deaths in children less than five years of age in a village in northern Pakistan lying about 1525 m above sea level. However, the high baseline respiratory rates among infants and children living in high altitudes may be a reason for the high incidence rates of pneumonia in these regions. The prevalence of anemia among young children in Low and Middle Income Countries has also been associated with an increase in the severity of pneumonia. Anemia affects 45 % of children under five years old in worldwide, and over 65 % of children under five in Southeast Asia and Africa. The combination of a high baseline respiratory rates and anemia can l lead to an increased risk of developing adverse outcomes from pneumonia.
