Actually, what you are probably referring to is the first aid advice for helping a person who has fainted by raising THEIR feet higher than THEIR head to allow more blood to get to their brain.

What a person is supposed to do when he see other person fainting?

If you are able you should attempt to steady the person and lower them slowly to the ground, supporting their head. Unless you know the person has a history of fainting spells that do not require medical attention each time, you should contact emergency medical help (if in doubt, make the call). Raise their feet up so that blood will flow towards where it is needed most (head/chest). There is not much else you can do for a person who has fainted except make sure they are warm/cool enough, that they are breathing normally, and that their heart is still beating. ----

The person living in Denver (5280 feet elevation) would likely have higher hemoglobin levels compared to the person living in Philadelphia (39 feet elevation). This is because at higher elevations, the air has lower oxygen concentration, prompting the body to produce more red blood cells and hemoglobin to compensate for the lower oxygen availability.
