Abstract EN
Background.
The goal of this study is to assess the natural antioxidant barrier of the organism and selected psychological aspects of the aging process in patients above 60 years old.
Methods.
The study included a total of 52 patients aged above 60 (mean age 67 ± 3.4) and 32 healthy subjects (mean age 22 ± 3.4) as a control group.
All patients underwent psychological assessment using Test of Attentional Performance version 2.3 (TAP 2.3, four subtests: alertness, cross-modal integration, neglect with central task, and working memory) and biochemical analysis of venous blood concerning values of the selected parameters of oxidative stress (HT, GSH, GPXOS, GPXRBC, GRRBC1, SODRBC1, MDARBC1, NO2−/NO3−, and CP).
Results.
Disorders of attention were observed mainly in elderly people, but an assumption that elderly people have developed more efficient ways of working memory use than younger people may be true.
Results showed the reduced effectiveness of the body’s natural antioxidant barrier in elderly people.
Moderate positive and negative correlations among parameters of oxidative stress and psychological parameters were observed in the control group.
Discussion.
Intensification of the attention deficits and oxidative stress may be observed as one of the pathogenic factors of age-dependent diseases.
