Altitude affects erythrocyte count by stimulating the production of more red blood cells to compensate for lower oxygen levels in the blood at higher altitudes. This process, known as erythropoiesis, helps increase the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood to meet the body's demand for oxygen in low-oxygen environments.
