Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a chronic disease that can affect all humans from the youngest to the oldest. Data from WHO (World Health Organization) 2015, shows about 1.13 billion people in the world suffer from hypertension. That is, 1 in 3 people in the world suffer from hypertension. In Indonesia, based on Riskesdas 2018 data, the prevalence of hypertension in Indonesia is 8.4% and based on the results of measurements in the population aged ≥ 18 years 34.1%. Hypertension cannot directly cause death, if not treated immediately, it will risk complications such as stroke, myocardial infarction, kidney failure and encephalopathy. Hypertensive disease can also be prevented and minimized with non-pharmacological therapy to avoid the side effects of antihypertensive drugs, namely with a healthy and balanced diet. One of them is by consuming adequate potassium. The fruit that contains a lot of potassium is banana ambon. The purpose of this study is to see the effect of banana ambon consumption on the level of hypertension. Methods through database searches used include Google Scholar, Garuda and Directory of Open Access Journal. The keywords used in the article search were hypertension and banana ambon. The results obtained 103 articles and only 9 articles were used in accordance with the analysis of objectives, suitability of topics, research methods used, and the results of each article. Conclusion: banana ambon has an effect in lowering blood pressure / hypertension.

Abstract

Hyperuricemia, with a global prevalence of approximately 14.0% in the general population and rising to 24.0% among the elderly, represents the second most prevalent metabolic disease after diabetes and constitutes a significant public health burden. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of turmeric tea in reducing blood uric acid levels in hyperuricemic elderly. A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group approach was employed, involving 140 respondents equally divided into an intervention group (n = 70) receiving 1000 mg/day of turmeric tea and a control group (n = 70) receiving standard health education. Blood uric acid levels were measured using a portable uric acid meter. Data were analyzed using the Paired Sample t-test, the Independent Sample t-test, and multiple linear regression. The intervention group demonstrated a significant reduction in mean uric acid levels from 8.46 ± 1.32 mg/dL to 6.78 ± 1.18 mg/dL (mean difference = 1.68 mg/dL; p = 0.000), while the control group showed no significant change (8.39 ± 1.28 to 8.21 ± 1.25 mg/dL; p = 0.137). The effect size was large (Cohen's d = 1.23). Multiple regression confirmed turmeric tea as the strongest predictor of uric acid reduction (B = 1.472; p = 0.000). Turmeric tea effectively reduces blood uric acid levels in hyperuricemic elderly and holds potential for integration into community-based elderly health programs as an accessible and affordable complementary therapy for hyperuricemia management.
