EFFECT OF BAY LEAF DECOCTION ON THE REDUCTION OF BLOOD PRESSURE AND MALONDIALDEHYDE (MDA) LEVELS IN ELDERLY WOMEN WITH HYPERTENSION
Abstrak
High blood pressure can occur at any age, especially in the elderly. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of bay leaf decoction (Syzygium Polyanthum) on reducing blood pressure and MDA levels in Elderly Hypertensive Women. The type of research was quasi-experimental, pre-test and post-test with a control group design. The sample was selected with inclusion criteria, namely elderly women aged ≥ 60 years with a diagnosis of hypertension, while the exclusion criteria included elderly women who had a history of kidney and heart disease. The study sample was all elderly women with hypertension, as many as 34 people, consisting of a control group of 17 people and an intervention group of 17 people. The average age of elderly women with hypertension was 63.91 years, and BMI was normal (91.2%). Intervention of giving bay leaf decoction at a dose of 5 g and Amlodipine 5mg/day. Systolic blood pressure before and after being given decoction bay leaves averaged 166.06 mmHg and 149.29 mmHg, while diastolic blood pressure before and after being given decoction bay leaves averaged 104.29 mmHg and 86 mmHg. MDA levels before being given decoction bay leaves averaged 3.5941 nmol/mL, while MDA levels after being given decoction bay leaves averaged 2.2035 nmol/mL. Based on the results of observations, there was an effect of decoction bay leaves (Syzygium polyanthum) on MDA levels in Elderly Hypertensive Women. Hypertensive women who were given decoction bay leaves significantly experienced a decrease in blood pressure (p-value = 0.009).
