Is it better to live at low altitude or dignified?
Pros:
Near sea level: less cosmic rays, smaller number UV, more oxygen.
Denver (5,000 ft), Boulder (6,000 ft), Mexico City (7,000 ft) or 9,000 ft: uh, makes your lungs and heart stronger? Less oxygen free radical damage, conceivably? Do those increase longevity? Your baseballs go farther. You can jump further and sprint a bit faster. That's gotta be cool.
Cons:
Near sea rank: Air resistance. Too much Raleigh and Mie scattering. Damn those three!
High altitudes: More radiation -> more cosmic rays, more UV, even the nonsedimemtary mountain rocks you likely live near have more decaying crude radioactive isotopes. You get tired easier. Humidity is too drying. Temperatures are volatile. You have to live further south than you're used to because you dislike places where frostbite is possible (in the non-homeless). Your vehicle doesn't make as much power. If you live in say, Mexico City you can't progress to your city's overlook without getting sick. Above about 3km or 9,000 ft you'd get darkness blindness (symptom of mild+ oxygen deprivation)
Answers:
low, more oxygen. better for your body
it depends on your current health problems. discuss the implication of both with your doctor.
near the ocean
High altitude.
For UV exposure, wear sunblock.
If one is not acclimated to the altitude, fatigue will set in.
As an example, Mexico City does not experience volatile weather. Rains a lot, temp does not drop to a volatile state as it does surrounded by the Himalayan mountain range or Denver CO.
If a person who lives at High altitude visits low altitude they would be at an power over the low lying population (at least until they become acclimated to low altitude).
Use a llama instead of a car. LOL j/k.
For me, the only down side to large alt. is that my later generations would be short with larger chests.
