Abstract
The aim of this work was to determine correlation between nutritional behaviour and lipid profile and fasting blood sugar of state secondary school teachers having central obesity. The research was an analytic quantitative study using survey method with cross sectional approach consisting of 151 teachers. The data involved abdominal circumference, lipid profile level, fasting blood sugar, and balanced nutritional behaviour. The data were analyzed using chi square analysis to determine the correlation between nutritional behaviour and lipid profile level.The result of the research indicate that there is a significant correlation between balanced nutritional behaviour and total cholesterol level (p=0.000), triglyceride (p=0.002), and LDL cholesterol (p=0.003). However, there is no correlation between balanced nutrional behaviour and HDL cholesterol level (p=0.237).
