At Rizani Paiton Hospital Probolinggo, CHF is among the top ten most common cases. Overweight is one of the factors that worsen the condition of CHF patients, measured through Body Mass Index (BMI). Objective: To determine the relationship between overweight and the incidence of CHF in the inpatient ward of Rizani Paiton Hospital Probolinggo. Methods: This analytical study used direct observation and Gamma correlation analysis, involving 60 patient samples. Results: The significance value (sig) of 0.000 (p < 0.05) indicates a very significant correlation between overweight and the incidence of CHF. The correlation value of 0.922 shows a very strong and positive relationship, meaning that the higher the patient's BMI, the greater the risk of CHF. Conclusion: Overweight has a significant correlation with the incidence of CHF. Weight management is important as a preventive measure against CHF.
