Abstract
Objective: In this study, we aimed to determine the relationship between physical activity and oxidative stress biomarkers in adults over 65 years of age. Material and Methods: A total of 176 older people were included in the study. Physical activity was determined using a DynaPort triaxial accelerometer measuring time in 6 activities, namely brisk walking, slow walking, lying down, sitting, standing, and moving. Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), Malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant capacity (TRAP), and superoxide dismutase enzyme (SOD) levels, as well as glycemic level, body mass index (BMI), and abdominal circumference were determined. Results: SOD was found to correlate with brisk walking and moving. There was a correlation between AOPP and brisk walking, slow walking, standing, moving, and lying down. Blood glucose level correlated with brisk walking time, standing, moving, slow walking, and lying down. Conclusions: Increased duration of physical activity in everyday life is associated with higher antioxidant capacity, lower oxidative stress, glycemic level, and BMI.
