This study aims to determine the correlation of abdominal circumference with blood pressure in the employees at Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Dentistry, and Faculty of Public Health, Andalas University. Analytical observational study conducted on 92 employees consisting of 42 male employees and 50 female employees with an age range of 24-59 years. 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).
