Effect of watermelon and carrot combination juice on blood pressure changes in hypertension patients at Andalas Public Health Center Padang City
Main Article Content
Abstract
Hypertension is one of the most prevalent non-communicable diseases and remains a major public health problem that increases the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Dietary modification, especially increased intake of fruits and vegetables, is considered an effective non-pharmacological approach to control blood pressure. This study aims to examine the effect of giving a combination of watermelon and carrot juice on changes in blood pressure in hypertensive patients, using a pre-experimental design (one-group pretest-posttest design) and purposive sampling technique. Data analysis consisted of univariate and bivariate analyses with a dependent T-test to examine the average differences in blood pressure changes for each respondent. The results showed an average initial systolic blood pressure of 149.00 mmHg and a final systolic pressure of 133.00 mmHg, while the average initial diastolic blood pressure was 93.65 mmHg and the final diastolic pressure was 87.47 mmHg. Furthermore, there was a significant difference between the average blood pressure before and after treatment (p<0.05). This study concludes that giving a combination of watermelon and carrot juice affects both systolic and diastolic blood pressure changes in hypertensive patients (p-value < 0.001).
