Abstract

Hypertension represents a global health problem with high prevalence in Indonesia reaching 30.8% based on the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey. Pajar Bulan Community Health Center recorded an increase in hypertension prevalence from 24.31% in 2020 to 26.32% in 2022. Non-pharmacological therapy through functional foods becomes an important alternative in blood pressure control.

            To analyze the effect of Soypina instant powder drink consumption on blood pressure reduction in hypertensive patients at Pajar Bulan Community Health Center, Muara Enim Regency. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with pre-test post-test design using comparison groups involving 60 hypertensive respondents aged 20-65 years divided into two groups. Soypina instant powder drink formulation consisted of soybean, pumpkin, and banana with four formulation variations. Organoleptic testing was conducted by 30 panelists to determine the best formula, followed by seven-day intervention in the treatment group.

            The best formula (F1) with composition of 20g soybean powder, 5g pumpkin, 5g banana, 5g skim milk, and 5g refined sugar obtained the highest acceptance. The treatment group experienced systolic blood pressure reduction of 12.73 mmHg and diastolic 10.00 mmHg, more significant than the comparison group (systolic 5.83 mmHg, diastolic 6.37 mmHg) with p-value <0.05. Increased intake of potassium 274.49 mg, fiber 4.36g, and protein 8.76g supported the blood pressure reduction mechanism.

            Soypina instant powder drink is effective as complementary therapy in reducing blood pressure in hypertensive patients through increased nutrient intake and bioactive compounds..
