Method: Two hundred (200) adult males, between the ages of 18 and 40 years who gave informed consents were recruited as the study population. Their ages (years), weights (Kg), heights (M), Body Mass Index (BMI) and serum levels of Malondaldehyde (MDA), some selected antioxidant vitamins (A and E) were determined using standard procedures.

Results: Results showed that the age (years) correlate positively with MDA (+0.81) but negatively with vitamin A (-0.62) and vitamin E (-0.77). Similarly, body weight (Kg/m2) was observed to correlate positively with MDA (+0.89) but negatively with vitamin A (-0.82) and vitamin E (-0.82).

Conclusion: Conclusively therefore, the findings of this study suggest that oxidative stress is induced by increasing age and body weight in male. It is therefore our recommendation that male with increasing age and body weight take additional antioxidant supplements from diets and drugs to combat the oxidative stress build-up by physiological processes such as ageing.
