The influencing factors of lipid peroxidation in the body / 公共卫生与预防医学

ABSTRACT

Lipid peroxidation is a common type of oxidative damage and is involved in the pathological process of numerous diseases. Many factors can affect the levels of lipid peroxidation in the body. This paper summarizes the epidemiological studies in recent years, and presents the impact of individual (age, gender and body mass index), lifestyle (smoking, drinking and physical activity) and environmental factors on lipid peroxidation. The research results suggest that the impact of different individual factors on lipid peroxidation in the body is still controversial. Lifestyles such as smoking and drinking, and air pollution from both indoors and outdoors may be risk factors increasing the levels of lipid peroxidation, while regular physical exercise be a protective factor decreasing the levels of lipid peroxidation. More epidemiological evidence and in-depth mechanism studies are urgently needed to better understand the influencing factors of lipid peroxidation and its role in the occurrence and development of diseases, so as to achieve early prevention of chronic diseases.
