Hypercholesterolemia is caused by overeating, obesity, diabetes mellitus (DM) tipe-2, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, stress cancer, genetics, alcohol, the elderly, lack of activity, vegetables and fruits. Atherosclerosis triggers the formation of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE-2) which is a receptor for the entry of coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in the lungs, which needs to be anticipated during the Covid 19 pandemic. Receptor-bound viruses can disrupt the respiratory system and death. Dietary omega 3 from fish or supplements serves as an anti-hypercholesterolemia, anti-inflammatory, anti-hyperglycemic, and anti-thrombotic. The purpose is the empowerment of omega-3 diet as anti-hypercholesterolemia in UPNVJ Medical students during the Covid 19 pandemic. The method used, determining body mass index (BMI) and assessing diet and physical activity using a food frequency questionnaire. As a result, the provision of omega-3 dietary knowledge in 147 FK UPN students who attended through multimedia PPT online, obtained a body mass index (BMI) above normal 35 respondents, with overweight 60% and obesity 40%. Results from the frequency food questionnaire showed a high-carbohydrate diet of 98%, fish consumption of 2.63%, omega 3 supplements of 10.52%, aerobic physical activity of 17.14%, of sleep and play mobile phones of 100%, of vegetables 5.71% and of the fruit of 17.14%.
