Depo hormonal contraceptives are significantly effective contraceptives with a low failure rate. Women who apply this contraceptive may experience several side effects on fat metabolism, which is an increase and decrease in total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). The objective of this study was to identify the influence of Dutch teak leaves (Guazuma Ulmifolia Lamk) on the cholesterol levels in the Depo acceptors. Quasi-experiment research design with one group pretest posttest design model. The pretest was completed first by the total number of samples which is 60 respondents. Furthermore, 250 ml of Dutch teak tea is consumed every morning and evening after eating. The intervention lasted two weeks, followed by a retest (posttest). Dutch tea pre and post results were analyzed employing t-test statistics on variable body weight (p = 0.706), systolic blood pressure (p = 0.322), and cholesterol (p = 0.001), and the Wilcoxon test on diastolic pressure variables (p = 0.043) and triglycerides (p = 0.417). With a p-value of 0.001, it demonstrates that there is a significant difference in cholesterol levels after being treated with Dutch teak tea. With a p-value greater than 0.05, there was no difference in triglycerides, weight, or blood pressure after receiving Dutch teak tea treatment. An increase in cholesterol levels is one of the side effects of DMPA acceptors. Therefore, consuming Dutch teak leaves is an alternative treatment option.
The risk of obesity and hypertension is associated with the influence of the hormone estrogen and the impact of the use of contraceptives. Use over one year is at risk of 1.36 times overweight, and will continue to increase in use over seven years (8.3 times). An important component for weight loss is aerobic exercise, so expected BMI, triglycerides, total cholesterol. LDL and HDL under normal conditions. Interventions in the form of treadmills, aerobic gymnastics or ergocycle. The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of aerobic gymnastics BMI, abdominal circumference and lipid profile of KB DMPA acceptors. The design was the quasi-experimental research (one group pretest posttest design). Pretest BMI, abdominal circumference, cholesterol, HDL and LDL were performed before and after the acceptor performed aerobic gymnastics a total of 16 meetings with a frequency of 3 times per week. The sample numbered 31 people. Data analysis using t-test and Wilcoxon. The results showed that aerobic gymnastics had no significant effect on BMI (p=0.818) and HDL (p=0.416) but had no significant effect on decreased abdominal fat (p=0.002), cholesterol (p = 0.044) and LDL (p=0.030). This recommendation of research is the need for routine physical activity such as aerobic gymnastics for DMPA KB acceptors so as to reduce complaints due to the side effects of DMPA contraceptives.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
