Impairment of altitude hypoxia on cognitive function and intervention measures
Altitude hypoxic environment can impair individual's cognitive function.In this paper,four major factors affecting cognitive function caused by altitude hypoxia are summarized:altitude,exposure time,age difference,culture and economy.Then,the mechanism was explained from the perspectives of physiology,biochemistry and neuroimaging.Finally,the non-drug intervention measures of cognitive training and motor training were proposed to improve the impairment of brain cognitive function.Future studies will explore the selective effects of altitude hypoxia on different cognitive functions,the study of special population in the altitude region,and the mechanism of hypoxia on brain injury.
