Abstract

This study aimed to assess the nutritional and diabetes status of school teachers in Karawang. A cross-sectional study was conducted at the end of 2022. Of the 71 participants, 39.4% were overweight, 19.7% were obese, and 33.8% had a normal body mass index. In terms of fasting blood glucose levels, 73.2% were within the normal range, 12.7% had pre-diabetes, and 14.08% had diabetes. These findings highlight the high prevalence of overweight, obesity, and abnormal blood glucose levels among school teachers in Karawang, underscoring the need for targeted programs to promote healthy lifestyles and chronic disease prevention in this population.
