- Abstract
Physical activity causes an increase in oxygen consumption, increasing free radicals. As such, cellular conditions occur due to physiological imbalances between antioxidant levels and oxidants (free radicals or reactive oxygen species). The study aimed to explore factors influencing workers’ SOD (superoxide dismutase) levels and analyze the relationship between age, length of work, and BMI with SOD levels. The study used a cross-sectional approach with 150 workers based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study variables were age, BMI, length of work, and SOD. Non-parametric statistical tests using Spearman rank correlation analyzed the correlation between independent and specific variables. SOD levels in critical workers are influenced by several related factors, namely age, length of work, and BMI. The study results showed a relationship between age, BMI, and length of work with SOD levels (p < 0.05). Older age, long work periods, and a high BMI correlated with reduced SOD levels.
