Research methods : This study was an observational study with cross sectional method. The samples were taken from the population based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and therefore obtained 36 respondents. The sampling technique was done by using consecutive sampling method.

The correlation test was done by using Pearson Product Moment. Results : Based on the univariate analysis, obtained the nutritional status of respondents, overall are having more nutrition (72.2%) and most of the total cholesterol level of the respondent are more than normal portion (44.6%). Based on Pearson Product Moment test, indicated the results of the analysis of body mass index with the total cholesterol level with pvalue = 0.857 (> 0.05), means that there is no relationship of body mass index with the total cholesterol level. Conclusion : There is no relationship between body mass index with the total cholesterol level of elderly at Posyandu Lansia "Ngudi Waras" Blulukan, Colomadu, Karanganyar, Central Java.
