Abstract EN

The present study was designed to evaluate prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and oxidative stress (OS) markers in rural and urban old aged men in Erbil governorate, Iraqi Kurdistan region.

The level of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA), Malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant activity (TAC) and nitric oxide (NO) were determined among men aged over 40 years living in different rural regions and center of Erbil city.

The results indicated that TAC in urban males was significantly higher than rural people, while the level of NO in rural males was significantly higher than urban males.

On the other hand, there were no statistical significant differences between serum PSA and MDA levels of rural and urban residences.

In conclusion, these findings indicated obvious differences between urban and rural people regarding the OS markers excluding prostate tumor marker
