<![CDATA[Background: Hypertension is a major health problem with a continuously increasing prevalence and a high risk of serious complications. Its management involves not only pharmacological treatment but also nutritional interventions, such as increasing potassium and fiber intake. The use of local foods, such as mocaf and kepok bananas, in the form of Mosatabaf cookies, has the potential to serve as an alternative approach to help reduce blood pressure in individuals with hypertension. Objective: This study aimed to see the effect of giving Mosatabaf cookies on blood pressure in pre-hypertensive patients. Methods: The type of research used was a quasi-experiment to find a causal relationship between variables with a pretest and posttest design with two groups. The research was conducted for 7 days. The research sample was prolanlis patients suffering from hypertension at the Talang Ubi Health Center, totaling 60 people, consisting of 30 intervention groups and 30 control groups who had checked their blood pressure and nutritional intake. Samples were selected using purposive sampling. Results: Based on statistical tests in the treatment group, the p-value of systolic 0.012 and diastolic 0.001 <0.005 with an average difference in systolic pressure reduction of 0.77 mmHg and diastolic 3.33 mmHg. Conclusion: Based on these results, it can be concluded that there is an effect of giving Mosatabaf cookies on reducing systolic and diastolic blood pressure in Prolanis patients who experience hypertension.]]>
