Profil Lipid Pada Masyarakat Peminum Kopi di Babadan Dusun Plumbon Kelurahan Banguntapan Bantul

Introduction

Profil lipid pada masyarakat peminum kopi di babadan dusun plumbon kelurahan banguntapan bantul. Menganalisis profil lipid (kolesterol, LDL, HDL, trigliserida) pada peminum kopi tradisional di Babadan Plumbon, Bantul. Studi menemukan konsumsi kopi tidak pengaruhi profil lipid.

Abstract

Coffee is the most widely consumed in the world, although the health impact of coffee drinking remains controversial. The objective of this study was to determine the lipid profile of traditional coffee drinker. The subject of this research were 30 residents of Babadan village, Plumbon hamlet, aged range 20-65 years old, who had a traditional coffee drinking habituation. Lipid profile data were obtained by measuring serum levels of total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglyceride using enzymatic photometric method. Descriptive analysis was conducted by examining the characteristics of the subjects, including age, gender and average levels of total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglyceride. The correlation between the amount and duration of coffee consumption on lipid profiles was analiyzed using simple regression analysis. The result showed that 6-% of the subject were male and 40% were female. Most subjects were within 19-44 age range. There were no differences in total cholesterol, LDL and triglyceride levels between male and female, but HDL levels were higher in females. The correlation between the duration of coffee consumption and lipid profile showed a very weak relationship, with R value of 0-0.25. similarly, the amount of coffee consumed was also very weakly correlated with lipid profile, with R value of 0-0.25. the conclution of this study was that neither the duration nor the amount of coffee consumption effects the lipid profiles of traditional coffee drinker in Babadan village, Plumbon Hamlet.

Review

The study titled "Profil Lipid Pada Masyarakat Peminum Kopi di Babadan Dusun Plumbon Kelurahan Banguntapan Bantul" addresses a relevant and often debated topic concerning the health impacts of coffee consumption, specifically its influence on lipid profiles. Given the widespread consumption of coffee, understanding its physiological effects is crucial. The authors aimed to assess the lipid profiles (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides) in a community of traditional coffee drinkers in a specific Indonesian village. The main conclusion drawn is that neither the duration nor the amount of coffee consumption significantly affected the lipid profiles in this cohort. While the study presents a clear objective and employs direct biochemical measurements for lipid profiles using enzymatic photometric methods, several methodological aspects warrant consideration. The sample size of 30 subjects is relatively small, which can limit the statistical power to detect meaningful correlations, especially when exploring nuanced relationships between dietary habits and biomarkers. Furthermore, the term "traditional coffee drinking habituation" lacks specific detail regarding the type of coffee, preparation methods (e.g., filtered, boiled, with sugar/milk), and precise quantity, all of which are critical factors known to influence lipid metabolism. A significant limitation is the apparent absence of data on potential confounding variables such as general dietary patterns, physical activity levels, smoking status, body mass index, and pre-existing medical conditions, which are well-established determinants of lipid profiles. The reported very weak correlation values (R = 0-0.25) suggest a negligible linear relationship, which, coupled with the lack of control for confounders, makes the firm conclusion that coffee has no *effects* somewhat premature. The findings, suggesting no significant impact of coffee consumption duration or amount on lipid profiles in the studied population, offer an initial insight into a specific local context. However, due to the aforementioned limitations, particularly the small sample size and lack of control for critical confounders, the generalizability and robustness of these conclusions are restricted. Future research would greatly benefit from a larger, more diverse sample, a comprehensive characterization of coffee consumption habits (including specific type, preparation, and additives), and rigorous control or adjustment for confounding lifestyle and dietary factors. Incorporating a comparative group (e.g., non-coffee drinkers or different coffee consumption patterns) could also strengthen the study design. Despite these limitations, this study serves as a foundational descriptive analysis, highlighting the need for more in-depth, well-controlled investigations into the complex interplay between coffee consumption and cardiovascular health markers in local communities.
