In this study, the samples used were those that met the inclusion criteria, and one group was treated by giving tamarind water for 14 days. Normality data analysis used Shapiro wilk and has a normal data distribution. In the bivariate analysis test using the paired t-test to determine whether there is an effect of giving tamarind on cholesterol levels. The average cholesterol level before giving tamarind water was 180.55 ± 31.263 m/dL and after giving tamarind water, it was 160.77 ± 34.493 m/dL. There was a significant effect on cholesterol levels before and after giving java water (p = 0.018).

Perlakuan berupa pemberian air asam jawa selama 14 hari. Uji normalitas data menggunakan Shapiro wilk dan didapatkan hasil bahwa data rerata kadar kolesterol mempunyai sebaran data normal. Adapun analisis bivariat dilakukan dengan uji paired t-test, untuk melihat efektifitas pemberian asam jawa yang dilihat dari perbedaan rata-rata kadar kolesterol sebelum dan sesudah perlakuan. Rata-rata kadar kolesterol sebelum dilakukan pemberian air asam jawa adalah 180,55±31,263 m/dL dan setelah pemberian air asam jawa 160,77±34,493 m/dL. Terdapat    pengaruh signifikan terhadap kadar kolesterol sebelum dan setelah pemberian air asam jawa (p = 0,018).
