Abstract

Antioxidants play a vital role in maintaining the cells and can prevent various disorders such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, liver disease, cancer, cataracts, and inflammatory and neurogenic disorders. Considering the importance of the problem, the present study aimed to determine the status of A, E, and C antioxidants in 167 apparently healthy individuals (112 women and 55 men) aged 18 to 50 years using a quantum analyzer. This method is completely non-invasive and has the ability to measure body composition. The selected persons have no history of hypertension, congestive heart failure, kidney diseases, inflammation and infectious diseases, and compliance with specific regimens in the previous three months. The mean age, weight, and body mass index of the samples were 32.04 ± 8.2 (years), 84.61 ± 1.234 (kg) and 30.57 ± 7.21 (kg /m 2), respectively. The deficiency of antioxidants A, E and C was seen in 22.2%, 40.7% and 45.5% of the population, respectively. On the other hand, there was no significant difference in the deficiency of antioxidants A, E and C between men and women (p>0.05). Due to the lack of antioxidants in the subjects, it is necessary to intervene in order to reduce the subclinical complications of this deficiency in the community.
