Abstract

Poltekkes Kemenkes Bengkulu employee is one of the jobs at risk for obesity. Besides, the support of economic capacity is also one of the factors of higher intake of food than the calories removed from physical activity. The study aim was to investigate the relationship between intake of energy and fat, physical activity to body mass index among Poltekkes Kemenkes Bengkulu employees. The cross-sectional study design was conducted on 65 employees consists of 22 men and 43 women aged 23-59 years in Poltekkes Kemenkes Bengkulu located in the city of Bengkulu. Energy and fat intakes were assessed using 2 x 24 hours of Food Recall. Body Mass Index (BMI) was calculated by calculating body weight to height (kg/m2). Physical activity was measured using the physical activity questionnaire from FAO for one day. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation to determine the relationship between energy & fat intake, physical activity, and body mass index. 61,5% of the employee was classified as non-obese. The average energy intake, fat intake, and physical activity was 1425.52 Kcal, 48.09 gram, and 1.78 PAR respectively. The result showed p-value for energy, fat and physical activities were 0,366; 0,638; 0,189, respectively, which means there is no relationship between energy intake, fat intake and physical activity to body mass index. There was no correlation between the intake of energy and fat and physical activity to Body Mass Index. This no relationship occurred because intakes and physical activity are assessed now as well, but BMI is the result of years. This is the limitation of this study.
