Metode. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain cross sectional dan dilaksanakan di
Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sumatera Utara. Metode sampling yang
digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah systematic sampling dan diperoleh 152

Hasil. Dari hasil penelitian, didapatkan responden laki-laki sebanyak 62 orang
(40,8%) dan responden perempuan sebanyak 90 orang (59,2%). Mayoritas
responden jarang mengkonsumsi fast food (70,4%) dan memiliki kadar kolesterol
normal (42,8%). Dari analisis Chi Square diperoleh nilai p < 0,05 (0,169) dalam
hubungan antara frekuensi konsumsi fast food dengan kadar kolesterol total.
