Abstract :
AbstractThe aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the level of physical activity and some psychological factors on lipid peroxidation and antioxidant index in middle-aged women. The research method of the present study is correlational. The statistical sample of this study included 30 middle-aged female employees of Gorgan Islamic Azad University who were systematically selected randomly. A researcher-made questionnaire to determine the level of physical activity and the standard Lavibund (1995) stress, anxiety and depression questionnaire were used to collect research data. Pearson correlation test was used to analyze the data. The findings of the present study indicated that there is a significant relationship between the level of physical activity with lipid peroxidation and the total antioxidant index of middle-aged women. There is also a significant relationship between some psychological factors (stress, anxiety and depression) with lipid peroxidation in middle-aged women. While it was observed that there is no significant relationship with the total antioxidant index of middle-aged women. Findings indicate that the level of oxidative enzymes has a significant relationship with physical activity and psychological factors (stress, anxiety and depression), so it is important to pay attention to physical activity and modulate the level of psychological factors for health.
