## Abstract
This research aimed to evaluate the correlation between the fast food intakes, the physical activities, smoking status, the stress levels, and leptin levels and the obesity status in the teachers of the state secondary schools in Makassar city. The design of the research was a cross-sectional study with 80 teachers as the research subjects, who were chosen using the simple random sampling technique. As for the obesity with the BMI indicator of Asia Pacific, the body weight was measured using camry digital scale of 0.1 and height was measured using Gea microtoice scale of 0.1. The variable of fast food was measured using FFQS, the variable of physical activity using Short IPAQ, the variable of stress level using the DASS, and the variable of the leptin level using the ELISA method. The data were analyzed using Spearman statistical correlation test. The research results showed that for univariate analysis, 61.2% of the subjects had obese I and 38.8% had obese II. Spearman bivariate correlation analysis showed a significant correlation between the fast food intake and the obesity incident (p=0.032), between the leptin level and the obesity incident (p=0.013). There was no significant correlation between the physical activity and the obesity incident (p=0.51), between smoking status and the obesity incident (p=0.30), and between the stress level and the obesity incident (p=0,30).
