Abstract

This literature review is a collection of several journals which aims to determine the effect of turmeric (Curcuma longa) on reducing lipid profiles, with emphasis on cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Turmeric is a daily food ingredient that is easy to find and has many good effects on the body, one of which is anti-inflammatory and anti-hypercholesterolemia. Hypercholesterolemia is a condition where the total cholesterol level in the body exceeds normal and can increase the risk of atherosclerosis. Curcumin is one of the active compounds in turmeric which has the function of reducing total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides which cause atherosclerosis and curcumin also increases the production of HDL cholesterol which helps protect against excess cholesterol accumulation which can cause heart and blood vessel disease. Based on several literature reviews, it is reported that the effectiveness of reducing cholesterol levels starts from a dose of 1000 mg - 1500 mg/day. The main aim of this research is to determine the effectiveness and safety of using turmeric as a supplement in reducing lipid profile levels in humans. Through this research, it is hoped that it can provide information regarding the effectiveness of turmeric as an effective additional therapy in managing lipid profiles.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels. Approximately 422 million people worldwide suffer from diabetes, with a high prevalence in low- and middle-income countries. According to the 2018 consensus of the Indonesian Endocrinology Association (PERKENI), the prevalence of diabetes in individuals aged ≥15 years is 2%. This research is a descriptive retrospective study with a cross-sectional approach aimed at describing the characteristics of diabetic foot ulcer patients in the outpatient unit. Data was obtained from the medical records of Ibnu Sina Hospital, with a sample size of 88 patients. Based on the research findings, diabetic foot ulcers are more commonly found in women (61.4%), as well as in individuals with normal nutritional status (55.7%) and those in the hypertension grade 1 group (58.0%). Most patients have a final education level of elementary school or equivalent (44.3%) and work as housewives (40.9%). The majority of diabetic foot ulcer patients are from the late elderly age group (56–65 years) and are female. Most of the patients had normal nutritional status, grade 1 hypertension, an elementary school or equivalent education, and worked as housewives.
