  • Individuals with chronic conditions: Such as heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension, as oxidative stress contributes to the worsening of these conditions.
  • Smokers: Who typically have higher levels of free radicals, increasing the risk of chronic diseases.
  • People exposed to environmental pollutants: Such as air pollution and pesticides, which can elevate oxidative stress levels.
  • Individuals with overweight or obesity: Since excess weight is linked to increased oxidative stress.
  • People following an unhealthy diet: Diets high in saturated fats and sugars may negatively affect antioxidant levels.
