Abstract

Blood sugar level (BSL) is something that refers to the level of sugar concentration in the blood. BSL can be influenced by several factors such as age, hormones, emotions, stress, the amount and type of food consumed and physical activity. Blood sugar levels in the body are closely related to lifestyle namely dietary habit and physical activity. With low activity, it will happen the accumulation of calories and sugar in the body. Body Mass Index (BMI) is one method for measuring one's ideal body weight, by measuring body height and body weight. BMI is also influenced by dietary habit and physical activity. The lecture is one example of physical activity. Lectures using the CBEL method (Competency Based Education Lecture) are studentcentered learning methods and it is expected that students can have individual skills in medical science. This research aimed to obtain data on the comparison of blood sugar levels and body mass index of new students in 2018 at the USU Faculty of Medicine before and after the initial semester lectures. This research was analytic observational with a cross-sectional design. The sample in this research was taken by simple random sampling technique. This research was calculated the number of subjects in the population than using the formula and randomly selected 97 samples. The collected data are primary data taken directly at the Faculty of Medicine. In this research were obtained significant results on blood sugar levels before and after the initial semester lecture with p = 0.028 (p <0.05) and significant results on BMI before and after the initial semester lecture with a value of p = 0.038. There was a difference in the comparison of initial blood sugar levels and BMI before and after the initial semester lecture on new students of 2018 the USU Faculty of Medicine.
