The effect of rosella beverage intervention on lipid profiles and antropometric in obese adult men

This study aimed to analyze the effect of rosella beverage intervention toward blood lipid profiles (total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL and LDL) and antropometric in obese adult men. The current study was a quasi experimental study with pre-post test. Twentyfive obese men subjects in IPB Security Unit were randomly assigned to a control group (n = 11) and intervention group (n = 14). The intervention group consumed a rosela beverage containing anthocyanin 81.16 mg/g and the control group consumed a placebo beverage that did not contain anthocyanin for 6 weeks. Rosella beverage has contained anthocyanin 81.16 mg/g and antioxidant activity 64.8 mg vitamin C/100 g. The results showed that the presence of intervention could effectively reduce weight, body weight and BMI compared to before intervention (p 0.05). This indicates that the intervention of roselle beverages could improved the lipid profile in obese adults.
