Abstract :
Lipid peroxidation index and antioxidant indicators were assessed by biochemical means in 193 healthy elderly volunteers(103 men and 90 women), ages 70–89 y and living freely in the Paris area. Lipid peroxidation index was in the same range as in young adults. Zinc, copper, and selenium levels were satisfactory and similar to those in young adults, though the range of copper values tended to be higher. Copper and selenium levels were higher in elderly women than in men. However, for selenium values this sex-related difference disappeared in elderly volunteers > 75 y. Copper-zinc-superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities were similar to those in young adults, with no influence of sex or age. Vitamin E and total carotene, closely related to cholesterol levels, were satisfactory. Our findings show that markers of oxidative stress are not influenced by old age when good health and nutritional status are preserved, as in this selected population.
