The objective of this study was to determine the effect of tomato juice supplements consumption on the lipid profile of women with dyslipidemia patients. The design of this study was a quasi-control experimental design with pre-post test. The subjects were sixty-two Kendal Hospital women employees, aged 35–50 years old, suffering from dyslipidemia but did not suffer from metabolic or degenerative diseases based on the examination of a specialist in internal medicine. Subjects were divided into two groups, group I (30 people) were given antioxidant supplements (336 g of tomatoes per day) for 21 days and group II (32 people) as control. The nutrition intake data was measured by the 24-hour food withdrawal method conducted for three consecutive days in three weeks of research calculated by the Nutrisurvey program. Data was analyzed with Kolmogorov Smirnov test, Pearson test and Mann Whitney test. There were significant relationships between energy intake, protein intake, fat intake, and carbohydrate intake with total cholesterol levels and triglyceride levels and there were also significant relationships between energy intake and fat intake with low density lipoprotein levels. It shows that there is a relationship between diet and dyslipidemia. There were significant differences in total cholesterol, low lipoprotein levels and triglycerides in treatment and control groups. This showed that tomato juice supplements significantly affect the lipid profiles.
