Heart disease is the leading cause of death in developed and developing countries. Increased and imbalanced cholesterol in plasma is a factor that can increase coronary heart disease incidence up to 2.52 – 3.20 at productive age. Drinks from Rosella can be used to treat hypercholesterolemia and hypertension. Rosella extract, containing anthocyanins with antioxidant properties, has been shown to reduce fat, Hyperlipidaemia, and heart disease. This study aimed to determine the effect of rosella (Hibiscus sabdariffa. L) infusion on body total cholesterol levels. The experimental method involves a pretest-posttest approach which measures plasma cholesterol values before and after a once-a-day intake of a glass of rosella steeping for 14 days. The result of the study shows an inverse relationship between the consumption of rosella steeping and cholesterol values, with an R-value of -0.378. The R Square value = 0.143 suggests that rosella steeping consumption affects total cholesterol levels by 14.3%. The study concludes a direct correlation between the
consumption of Rosella infusion on total cholesterol values, with a decrease in serum cholesterol values after Rosella infusion compared to before intake.
