The prevalence of hyperuricemia in Asia in the last decade is around 13%-25%. The epidemiology of hyperuricemia in Indonesia is still not known with certainty, but a survey conducted in Bandungan, Central Java above (WHO-COPCORD) on 4,683 samples aged 15-45 years found that the prevalence of hyperuricemia was 24.3% in men and 11.7 % in women. Obesity is a factor in the increase in uric acid levels. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between body mass index and uric acid levels in grade 3 A3 students class 2018 DIII National Medical Laboratory Technology STIKES. Method: This type of research is analytic observational with a cross sectional approach. The sampling technique in this study was total sampling with the research subjects of 33 students of class 3A 3 class 2018 DIII National Stikes Medical Laboratory Technology. The examination method used is Enzymatic Photometric (Urikase-PAP). Pearson Product Moment correlation test obtained p value (0.039) and the value of the correlation coefficient (r = 0.360). Conclusion: The study concluded that there was a significant relationship between body mass index and uric acid levels in class 3 A3 students of 2018 DIII Medical Laboratory Technology Nasional Institute of Health Science with a value of r = 0.360 indicating the strength of the relationship in this study was weak.} }
