This study aims to determine the relationship between hs-CRP and triglycerides in obese respondents. This type of research used is correlational. The study was conducted at Siloam Hospital Bali from February to March 2023. The sample in this research was 30 obese respondents who were examined for hs-CRP and triglyceride levels. The results showed that 13 people (43,3%) were in the high category and 1 person (3,3%) was in the very high category. Hs-CRP levels in the respondents were 25 people (83%) with normal hs-CRP levels or less than 5 mg/l and 5 people (17%) with hs-CRP levels of 5 mg/l. Based on the results of the correlation test, it was found that the p-value was 0,505 which indicated a p-value greater than 0,05, meaning that there was no correlation between hs-CRP levels and triglyceride levels. This is probably because the respondent has not carried out strenuous activities, no inflammation and has received treatment related to obesity status.
