  1. *Significantly different between AMS and non-AMS groups.
  2. AMS, acute mountain sickness.
  3. Multivariate logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) for the effects of BMI, physical fitness, age, and gender on the likelihood of experiencing AMS.
