Obesity lead to serious health consequences. Risk increases progressively as BMI increases to contributes an increased risk for chronic disease, including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and certain types of cancer. The prevalence of obesity has increased in Indonesia. The cross sectional study was applied to 47 obese group and 97 normal weight women worker. We compared the lipid profiles and blood pressure of obese worker women (n = 47, mean age 38.89) to those with a normal weight (n = 97, mean age 37.09). The average body mass index was 30.13 kg/m2 in the obese and 22.99 kg/m2 in the normal group. Ratio LDL-cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol in obese group 2.62 ±1.03 higher than normal group 1.87±0.61. The obese group had significantly higher levels of total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, lower levels of HDL-cholesterol and higher blood pressure compared to the normal group. Obesity in worker women is associated with disturbances in lipid metabolism and a greater risk for cardiovascular disease.
