Characteristics of oral microbiota in plateau and plain youth ‐positive correlations between blood lipid level, metabolism and specific microflora in the plateau group

ConclusionsWith increasing altitude, the diversity of oral microbiota and the relative proportion of predominant bacteria were altered. The distribution and related function of Streptococcus spp. were prominent in plateau samples. This comprehensive study of the relationship between oral microecology and elevation provides a point of reference for studying the human body’s adaptability or inadaptability to high altitude.
