- Abstract
Background: The food consumed can be an alternative to controlling lipid levels, one of the ingredients that can use corn. Aims: This study was to find out the effect of corn boiled water on HDL-C, LDL-C, triglycerides, and total cholesterol levels and in the selected area in Indonesia. Method: Research used an experimental with a pretest-posttest control group. Samples were taken using simple random sampling consisting of 2 intervention groups and one control group, with 20 subjects per group. Intervention group 1 consist of normal BMI, intervention group 2 and control with excessive nutritional status. Lipid examination was carried out in the laboratory by taking fasting venous blood. The instruments are standard operating procedures and observation sheets. Bivariate analysis is Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney. Multivariate analysis using the Kruskal Wallis test. Result: There was a decrease in the posttest mean HDL-C of 5.25 gr/dl in a control group, p = 0.019. There was no difference in LDL-C, triglycerides, and total cholesterol in the pretest-posttest control group, p = 0.663, 0.087, and p = 0.284. There was an increase in HDL-C in both intervention groups, 5.35 and 7.55 g/dl. The results of bivariate values of HDL-C, LDL-C, triglycerides, and total cholesterol in group B were p = 0.021, p = 0.455, p < 0.001, and p = 0.048. The pretest-posttest values of HDL-C, LDL-C, triglycerides, and total cholesterol in group C showed p = 0.020, p = 0.086, p = 0.028, and p = 0.003. Multivariate test of HDL-C, LDL-C, Triglycerides, and Total Cholesterol showed p = 0.002, p = 0.584, p = 0.12, and p = 0.005. Conclusions: Whole corn boiled water effectively increases HDL-C levels and lowers LDL-C, triglycerides, and total cholesterol in people with normal nutritional status and over the nutritional status.
