Abstract

Abstract

Dyslipidemia is condition of a lipid metabolism disorder that characterized by high levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, and Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL), and low levels of High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. Pharmacological therapy in dyslipidemia has several side effects. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of yam bean (Pachyrrhizus erosus) and ginger (Zingiber officinale roscoe) on total cholesterol levels of diabetics with the risk of dyslipidemia. This research is a comparative analytic study using the one-group pretest-posttest design approach. Samples were divided into two groups, namely the yam bean juice treatment group and ginger water treatment group. Yam bean juice and ginger water are given 2 times a day for 7 days. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed ranked test and paired T-test. The results of this study are that there is no difference in total cholesterol before and after administration of yam bean juice and there is a difference in total cholesterol before and after administration of ginger water. Ginger water (Zingiber officinale roscoe) is more effective than yam bean juice (Pachyrrhizus erosus) in decreasing the total cholesterol level of diabetics with the risk of dyslipidemia.

Abstrak

Dislipidemia merupakan kondisi metabolisme lipid yang tidak normal, ditandai dengan tingginya kadar kolesterol total, trigliserida, dan Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL), akan tetapi kadar kolesterol High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) rendah. Terapi farmakologi pada dislipidemia memiliki beberapa efek samping. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektivitas bengkuang (Pachyrrhizus erosus) dan jahe (Zingiber officinale roscoe) terhadap kadar kolesterol total penderita diabetes melitus (DM) dengan risiko dislipidemia. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian analitik komparasi dengan menggunakan pendekatan the one group pretest–posttest design. Sample pada penelitian ini dikelompokkan menjadi 2 yaitu kelompok perlakuan jus bengkuang dan kelompok perlakuan air rebusan jahe. Jus bengkuang dan air rebusan jahe diberikan 2 kali sehari selama 7 hari. Data dianalisis menggunakan wilcoxon signed ranked test dan paired T-test. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah tidak ada perbedaan kolesterol total sebelum dan sesudah pemberian jus bengkuang dan terdapat perbedaan kolesterol total sebelum dan sesudah pemberian air rebusan jahe. Pemberian air rebusan jahe (Zingiber officinale roscoe) lebih efektif dibandingkan jus bengkuang (Pachyrrhizus erosus) dalam menurunkan kadar kolesterol total penderita DM dengan risiko dislipidemia.
