<![CDATA[This study aims to determine the relationship of the frequency of consuming junk food, intake of simple carbohydrates, physical activity and total cholesterol levels in Esa Unggul University employees. This type of research is observational with cross sectional research design. The total population of 400 respondents obtained the number of samples using stratified random sampling is as many as 60 respondents selected with respondents ranging from age 27-61 years. Data collected are frequency of consuming junk food using food frequency (FFQ) instruments for the past 1 month, physical activity using 2x24 hour Physical Activity Level (PAL) instrument form, simple carbohydrate intake using 2x24 hour food recall instrument and total cholesterol level using instrument check instrument digital cholesterol. Data analysis in this study used the Pearson correlation test. Average junk food consumption with a score (95.7 ± 64.96), physical activity (1.67 ± 0.21), intake of simple carbohydrates (77.64 ± 32.91) grams and total cholesterol levels (184, 7 ± 36.25) ml / dl. There was a relationship between consuming junk food (P = 0.0001; r = 0.454), intake of simple carbohydrates (P = 0.006; r = 0.349) and total cholesterol levels. However, there was no relationship between physical activity and total cholesterol levels (P = 0.167; r = -0.181).
