- AbstrakLatar belakang: Hampir seluruh populasi di dunia mengonsumsi kalium lebih rendah dari rekomendasi yangdianjurkan. Air kelapa muda merupakan minuman khas yang tinggi kalium. Tujuan penelitian ini adalahuntuk menganalisis asupan kalium pada perempuan prahipertensi dan menentukan peningkatan asupankalium dengan pemberian air kelapa muda untuk menurunkan tekanan darah di antara subyek prahipertensi.Metode: Pada uji klinis paralel single blind dengan subyek sebanyak 32 guru perempuan dan karyawatiprahipertensi berusia 25-44 tahun di Surabaya bulan April – Juni 2013. Pemilihan subyek penelitian denganrandomisasi blok, 16 subyek tiap kelompok. Kelompok perlakuan (P) mendapat air kelapa muda disertaipenyuluhan gizi, sedangkan kelompok kontrol (K) mendapat air putih disertai penyuluhan gizi. Penilaianasupan kalium dengan food record 2x24 jam selama fase run in, minggu pertama, dan minggu kedua periodepenelitian. Food record dianalisis menggunakan nutrisurvey, dan kandungan kalium dalam air kelapa mudasegar dan air putih dianalisis dengan metode atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS).Hasil: Pada awal penelitian, rerata asupan kalium subyek 1420,28±405,54 mg/hari atau sekitar 30,22%± 8,63% dari angka kecukupan gizi (AKG). Selama perlakuan, didapatkan peningkatan asupan kaliumsebesar 2 kali lipat dan meningkat signifikan pada kelompok perlakuan, tetapi masih lebih rendah darirekomendasi AKG dan WHO.Kesimpulan: Pada perempuan prahipertensi, asupan kalium dikategorikan rendah, dan air kelapa mudasegar 300 ml dua kali sehari selama 14 hari berturut-turut dapat meningkatkan asupan kalium.

The study aimed to analyze potassiumintake in prehypertension subjects and to identify the increase of potassium intake.Methods: This parallel single blind randomized clinical trial study consisted of 32 female prehypertensionteachers and employees aged 25-44 years in five Islamic Education Foundation in Surabaya in April – June2013. The selected subjects randomly allocated into 16 subjects for treatment (T) group received TCW300 ml twice daily for 14 days and nutritional counseling, and 16 subjects for control (C) group received300 ml plain water twice a day for 14 days and nutritional counseling. Dietary intake of potassium wasassessed by using estimated two-day food record during run in, first week, and second week during studyperiod. The food record was analyzed with Nutrisurvey and content of potassium in TCW and water wereanalyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) method.Results: At baseline, mean dietary intakes of potassium were 1420.28±405.54 mg/day or only 30.22%± 8.63% compared to recommended daily allowance (RDA). There were double increase of potassiumintake (61.09±12.5% compared to RDA) and increased significantly in the T group (P < 0.00), but it wasstill lower than RDA as well as WHO recommended.Conclusion: Among prehypertension female, dietary intakes of potassium was catagorized as low, andTCW 300 ml twice daily for 14 consecutive days increased significantly the potassium intake.
