Abstract

As time went along with their own tobacco human civilization known to man. On cigarettes have been found around 4000 types of toxic chemicals including nicotine and tar in which the nicotine contained in cigarette smoke can affect blood lipid profile one triglyceride so that smokers had higher triglyceride levels than nonsmokers. This study was to determine whether there is a relationship between smoking and blood triglyceride levels with the design of the study conducted using an analytic study of 58 people with the USU engineering students to take blood samples of smokers. The relationship between the variables of smoking with blood triglyceride levels are determined based on data collected from interviews and take measurements of blood triglyceride levels, measurements were performed one at a time without a follow-up observation. The result showed there were 13 respondents (22.4%) who have triglyceride levels above normal. There is a relationship between smoking and blood triglyceride levels (p = 0.001). There are differences in average blood triglyceride levels among light smokers with heavy smokers (p = 0.000) and between smokers moderately heavy smokers (p = 0.045). but there is no difference between the average blood triglyceride levels among light smokers with moderate smokers (p = 0,053).
