<![CDATA[ABSTRACT The incidence of obesity worldwide is rapidly increasing, both in developed and developing countries. Obesity, particularly central obesity, is an inflammatory condition occurring within the body. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a simple biomarker used to indicate the inflammatory response. This study aims to determine the profile of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in students with obesity at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Wijaya Kusuma Surabaya. This study employs a descriptive-analytic method with a cross-sectional approach. The study population comprises students from the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Wijaya Kusuma Surabaya; 47 individuals, with 30 obese individuals and 17 individuals with a normal BMI. The results showed that the average neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for individuals with a normal BMI is 1,95. In contrast, the average NLR for obese individuals is 2,09. There is an increase in the average neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) among obese students at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Wijaya Kusuma Surabaya.
