Background of the Study
Occupational stress is increasingly recognized as a factor that accelerates physiological aging. In Sapele, traders face high levels of stress due to economic uncertainties, long working hours, and market volatility (Ibrahim, 2023). This study examines how chronic occupational stress affects biomarkers of aging, such as telomere length, hormonal balance, and cardiovascular health. By integrating stress assessment questionnaires with clinical evaluations and biomarker analyses, the research aims to establish a link between prolonged stress exposure and accelerated aging processes (Chinwe, 2024). The study further explores how stress management interventions can potentially mitigate these effects. Socioeconomic factors and lifestyle habits are also considered as moderators in the relationship between occupational stress and aging (Adesola, 2025). This multifactorial approach will provide a comprehensive understanding of how stress in high-pressure trading environments impacts overall physiological health and longevity.
Statement of the Problem
There is limited research on the physiological effects of occupational stress among traders in Sapele. The absence of data on biomarkers of aging related to chronic stress hampers the development of effective stress management and health promotion interventions (Olumide, 2023). This study addresses the gap by investigating the relationship between occupational stress and accelerated aging, thereby providing a scientific basis for targeted health interventions and improved workplace wellness programs (Folarin, 2024).
Objectives of the Study:
-
To measure levels of occupational stress among traders.
-
To assess physiological biomarkers associated with aging.
-
To evaluate the effectiveness of stress management interventions.
Research Questions:
-
How does occupational stress correlate with physiological aging biomarkers?
-
What are the main stressors affecting traders in Sapele?
-
Can stress management interventions mitigate the effects of stress on aging?
Research Hypotheses:
-
High occupational stress is associated with accelerated physiological aging.
-
Biomarkers of aging are significantly altered in traders experiencing chronic stress.
-
Stress management interventions can slow the aging process.
Significance of the Study
The study provides important insights into the effects of occupational stress on aging, offering evidence-based recommendations for workplace wellness programs. Its findings could enhance the quality of life for traders by promoting healthier work environments (Daramola, 2023).
Scope and Limitations of the Study:
The study is limited to investigating the impact of occupational stress on physiological aging among traders in Sapele Local Government Area only.
Definitions of Terms:
-
Occupational Stress: Stress experienced due to work-related factors.
-
Physiological Aging: Biological changes associated with aging.
-
Biomarkers: Biological indicators used to measure physiological processes.
