Subjects were elderly women, aged over 60 years, with high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and dyslipidemia (high cholesterol or high triglycerides). The research sample was selected from one community, the elderly nursing home, Banda Aceh, Indonesia. Total research subjects were 18 people. The selection of research subjects was based on the results of screening with anamnesis, physical examination, and laboratory blood tests (examination of blood glucose and blood lipid profiles: total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, and LDL). The total population is 72 elderly men ( n=29) and women ( n=43). Based on the results of screening of 43 elderly women, it was found that as many as 18 people were experiencing metabolic syndrome (hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia). One report showed that hibiscus resulted in a lower body mass index ( BMI), body weight, body fat, and hip-to-waist ratio. Roselle - plant". Encyclopedia Britannica.

The control group was a group of elderly women treated with rosella and also antihypertensive and antidiabetic drugs. A control group is a group of elderly women who take antihypertensive and antidiabetic drugs. All subjects did not take anticholesterol drugs because all subjects were patients with diabetes and hypertension. Dyslipidemia is known by examining the lipid profile at the time of screening the patient for the study sample.

Growing Rosellas

In the Chota Nagpur region, it is known as "Kudrum" or "Dhepa saag" in the Nagpuri/Sadri dialect. It is also known by different names in different languages of this region, like "Ipil jongor ", which means "star fruit" in the Mundari language. Groseille-pays". AZ Martinique (in French).

[47] The world's best roselle comes from Sudan and Nigeria, b. Mexico, Egypt, Senegal, Tanzania, Mali and Jamaica are also important suppliers but production is mostly used domestically. [48] In India, the plant is primarily cultivated for the production of bast fibre used in cordage, made from its stem. [38] The fibre may be used as a substitute for jute in making burlap. [39] Hibiscus, specifically roselle, has been used in folk medicine as a diuretic and mild laxative. [40]

In the initial years, limited research work was conducted by University Malaya and Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (MARDI). Research work at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) was initiated in 1999. In many respects, the amount of research work is considered [ by whom?] meagre in supporting a growing roselle industry in Malaysia.Enwerem N, Azuine M.

Washington, D.C.: Department of Botany, Smithsonian Institution. 23 (3): 779. JSTOR 23492504. The epidemic of metabolic syndrome (MS) is a major public health problem in most countries in the world [ 1]. The epidemic of MS is not only in developed countries but also in developing countries, including Indonesia. MS is an abnormal metabolic complex with symptoms of overweight/obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, low levels of HDL cholesterol, high blood pressure, insulin resistance, and hyperglycemia [ 2– 5]. MS has an impact on increasing morbidity and mortality due to complications and comorbidities [ 1, 3, 5]. MS patients have twice the risk of death compared to non-MS [ 5, 6]. MS is a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease [ 1, 3, 5]. MS is at high risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM) [ 7]. Although Roselle has a variety of claims medicinally, it appears to have evidence to support its role in reducing blood pressure in persons with elevated blood pressure. This may be through its ACE inhibitory potential (although this is admittedly weak) or by benefiting the endothelium via nitric oxide related mechanisms (appears to be in better accordance with the amount of anthocyanins that reach the blood). Reductions in both diastolic and systolic blood pressure have been noted, and for the most part appear to be reliable in presence although not so much in magnitude of benefit (ie. blood pressure is reliably reduced, but the degree of reduction seems to vary).

Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Prepared by Anne Plotto. Archived from the original on 2007-11-23 . Retrieved 2007-08-25.We found that rosella tea had a role in controlling MS: lowering both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in elderly women with hypertension, lowering FPG levels in elderly women with diabetes, lowering levels of Chol, TG, HDL, and LDL in elderly with dyslipidemia, and lowering BW. Rosella also affects increasing NO levels but has an inverse effect in reducing cortisol levels in the elderly with metabolic syndrome. Our results show that rosella, which has long been used by people in several countries in the world including Indonesia, is an herbal medicine that has the potential to be developed as an antimetabolic syndrome drug. Our findings were based on several scientific studies regarding the efficacy of rosella as an herbal medicine for patients with MS. Hopkins, A. L., Lamm, M. G., Funk, J. L., & Ritenbaugh, C. (2013, March). Hibiscus sabdariffa L. in the treatment of hypertension and hyperlipidemia: A comprehensive review of animal and human studies. Fitoterapia, 85, 84-94 In conclusion, rosella decreases BP (SBP and DBP), fasting blood glucose, weight, lipid profile (LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglycerides), and cortisol and increases NO levels in elderly women. We conclude that rosella has potential as an herbal drug to control metabolic syndrome. Rosella has the potential to be developed as antihypertensive, antidyslipidemic, antidiabetic, and antiobesity drugs. Rosella probably functions as an antistress herbal medicine. Further research is required to examine and analyze the mechanism of action of rosella in controlling the metabolic syndrome via a variety of cellular and molecular pathways. Data Availability

All examinations were carried out twice (before and after therapy): the first was done one day before giving rosella therapy (as the pretest data) and secondly done one day after rosella therapy (day 22) as the posttest data. Examination of nitric oxide and cortisol levels was carried out using the ELISA method. The patient was fasted for 12 hours from 07.00 p.m. to 07.00 a.m., before the examination. Blood samples were collected from 07.00 a.m. to 10.00 a.m. 2.3.
