Abstract:
Introduction: Dyslipidemia is a significant factor in cardiovascular and other diseases. Corn can be used to treat
dyslipidemia. This study is to determine the effect of boiled corn water on levels of HDL-C, LDL-C, triglycerides (TG),
and total cholesterol (TC) in people with dyslipidemia in certain areas in Indonesia. Methods: We used a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design. A sample of 40 people for each group was taken using a purposive
sampling technique. The group was given the intervention of corn-boiled water @ 200cc twice daily for seven days.
Blood lipid profile using fasting and examined by Fluorometric-enzymatic assay method. All procedures are carried out based on operational standards. Within-group comparisons used the Wilcoxon test, while between-group
comparisons used the Mann-Whitney U and Independent T-Test. Results: The LDL-C control group experienced an
increase of 65.1 mg/dL, and the entire group’s lipid profile variation showed no difference between the pretest and
posttest (p>.05). The intervention group showed an increase in HDL-C (0.1 mg/dL), a decrease in LDL-C (30.2 mg/
dL), TG (27.0 mg/dL), and TC (35.6 mg/dL). Within-group comparison of the intervention group showed HDL-C
(p.153), LDL-C (p.001), TG (p.023), and TC (p<.001). A between-group comparison showed HDL-C (p.101), LDL-C
(p.034), TG (p.003), and TC (p.006). Conclusion: Whole corn boiled water provides good evidence that it is effective
in lowering LDL-C, TG, and TC, as well as improving dyslipidemia in HDL-C patients. This intervention can be used
as an alternative treatment for dyslipidemia in terms of nutrition.
