Increased prevalence of obesity suggests that there is an increased risk of obesity-related illnesses. Metabolic and lipid transport disorders can lead to hypercholesterolemia. This can happen especially among people with less physical activity, such as teacher. This study was aimed to assess the comparison of cholesterol levels in obese and non-obese teachers. This was an analytical descriptive study with a cross-sectional design. Respondents were 35 teachers at SMP Negeri I and II (junior high school) Kauditan Kabupaten Minahasa Utara consisting of 26 females and 9 males. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated and fasting cholesterol levels were checked from peripheral blood using autocheck tool. The results showed that there were 16 (45.7%) non-obese respondents and 19 (54.3%) obese respondents. Of the 35 respondents, 24 (68.6%) had normal cholesterol levels and 11 (31.4%) had hypercholesterolemia. The bivariate analysis using Mann Whitney test revealed that there was no significant difference in cholesterol levels between obese and non-obese teachers (P = 0.537).
