No.

Low altitude is close to sea level, which usually doesn't cause edema.

HIgh altitude OTOH, as experienced by mountaineers, can cause edema.

What effects does low pressure have on the human body?

Low pressure can lead to hypoxia, or a lack of oxygen in the tissues, which can cause symptoms like dizziness, lightheadedness, fatigue, and shortness of breath. Prolonged exposure to low pressure can also result in altitude sickness, characterized by symptoms such as headache, nausea, and difficulty sleeping. In extreme cases, low pressure can lead to more severe conditions like high altitude pulmonary edema or cerebral edema.

What is another factor that can cause water to evaporate more quickly beside the heat?

Altitude, the higher the altitude the lower the pressure. Water evaporates more quickly at low pressures


Does hypoproteinemia cause edema?

Yes, low oncotic blood pressure is a major cause of dependent pitting edema. Proteins in the blood exert an oncotic pull on blood serum which keeps the serum within the blood vessels. A loss of these proteins decreases the ability of the blood to keep serum within the blood vessels and the serum will leak out into the interstitial space. Gravity then pulls the edema fluid downward into the legs.


What would be the effect of low blood protein levels on the colloidal pressure?

If blood protein levels become low, then there will be a decrease in colloidal osmotic pressure. This in turn can cause side effects in the body like edema and muscle degeneration.


Is there any danger to a healthy person from high altitude breathing?

There is danger to a healthy person from high altitude breathing because the oxygen level is very low which could possibly cause a heart attack or stroke.


What is healthier - living at low or high altitude?

Living at low altitude is generally considered healthier because there is more oxygen available for the body to use, making it easier to breathe and less taxing on the heart. High altitudes can cause symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, and headaches as the body adjusts to the lower oxygen levels.
