Those living at higher altitudes require more oxygen carrying capacity in their blood since the air is less dense - consequently there is less oxygen in each breath of air. To compensate for this, the body tends to produce more red blood cells to carry the available oxygen.

In high elevation, mountainous areas, the air is very thin, meaning the oxygen molecules are more spread out.

These people's bodies have adapted over the years, and they generally require less oxygen. Their body produces more red blood cells to carry oxygen as well.
