Data was collected from the measurement of abdominal circumference and blood pressure directly. Univariate and bivariate data analysis using SPSS program 15. Bivariate analysis using Pearson correlation test to determine the correlation of abdominal circumference with blood pressure. The results showed a mean of abdominal circumference in male employees by 84.50 ± 9.50 cm and female employees by 83.57 ± 8.98 cm. Research shows as many as 14.13% of employees have high blood pressure (hypertension). The statistical test showed a significant correlation exists between abdominal circumference and systolic blood pressure in male and female subjects (p <0.01 and p <0.05), but there was no correlation between abdominal circumference and diastolic blood pressure both in the group of male and female subjects (p> 0.05).
