Abstract

Perimenopause itself is defined as the permanent cessation of menstruation due to loss of ovarian activity confirmed by the onset of amenorrhea for 12 consecutive months in the absence of other pathological or physiological causes, occurring at the age of 42 years until menopause. In perimenopausal women, besides decreasing estrogen levels, there is also a decrease in calcium absorption which causes osteoporosis. Where dates contain iron, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus and potassium, but it also contains phytochemical compounds such as phytosterols and phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens have the same structure and function as endogenous estrogens that serve to exert a major effect on women on bone remodeling and also control the timing of osteoclast apoptosis. Objective : To determine the relationship between giving ajwa dates to calcium levels in perimenopausal women. Method : Literature review with narrative review design. Results : Based on several journals that have been reviewed, it can be concluded that giving ajwa dates can inhibit the decrease in bone density in elderly women, where the active substances that play a role in this are calcium and phytoestrogens. Conclusion : Giving ajwa dates can inhibit the decrease in bone density in elderly women. Keywords : ajwa date (Phoenix dactylifera L), perimenopause, calcium.

Abstract

During perimenopause, there can be a decrease in estrogen production, which indicates the end of a woman’s reproductive years. The production of the hormone estrogen that continues to decrease will cause hypercholesterolemia. Decrease in LDL cholesterol levels can be increased by giving antioxidant properties, which are rich in vitamin C and contain flavanoids and phenolics that function as antioxidants. The method used in this study is Literature Review with Design Narrative Review. The result from the literature it was found the effect of giving ajwa dates (Phoenix Dactylifera L) before and after administration showed a change, namely a decrease in LDL levels after giving ajwa dates. This is because ajwa dates contain flavanoids, phenolics, and plant sterols that function as antioxidant that can prevent the formation of lipid peroxidation. The conclusion based on the results of the literature review, it can be concluded that giving ajwa dates to perimenopause women decreased LDL levels where ajwa dates have antioxidant functions to prevent lipid peroxidation to reduce LDL. The suggestion from the study is necessary to conduct further research on the effect of consumption of ajwa dates on LDL levels in perimenopause women using experimental methods of pretest and posttest design.

Abstract

Based on the 2016 Riskesdas, the prevalence of high cholesterol in Indonesia among women aged 35-59 years was 52.9%, and among those aged ≥60 years, it was 58.7%. According to provincial data, the highest percentage of patients with high cholesterol levels at Posbindu and FKTP in Indonesia was in West Papua Province, reaching up to 70%. The concentration of cholesterol levels in women's blood tends to increase with age, particularly for those over 40 years old, due to hormonal factors, especially the decrease in estrogen production and function. The decline in estrogen levels leads to an increase in lipids or total cholesterol, resulting in changes in body fat composition associated with hypercholesterolemia. This case report aims to investigate the impact of consuming Ajwa dates on the total cholesterol levels of perimenopausal women. Results: Ajwa dates contain higher polyphenol concentrations with an impressive nutritional profile that enhances blood lipoproteins. Additionally, dates can increase estrogen levels due to the estradiol and estrone present in their pollen. Several experimental studies have shown a significant difference in total cholesterol levels in subjects before and after consuming Ajwa dates. Conclusion: There is a notable difference in total cholesterol levels before and after the administration of Ajwa dates.
