Results showed significant relationship between fiber intake and total cholesterol levels with medium correlation (r=-0,470, p = 0,001) and significant relationship between body mass index and total cholesterol levels with medium correlation (r=0,510 p =0,000). The results showed that the average intake of fiber was 4,20 grams/day the average of body mass index was 21,719 the average of total cholesterol levels was 180,4 mg/dl. This research was conducted on November 2017 in Biology Department of Matematics and Sains, Faculty University of Lampung. Sampling was taken by disproportionate stratified random sampling and obtained 43 respondents, aged 18-22 years. This study used analytic-correlative research method with cross sectional approach. This study aimed to determine the relationship between fiber intake and body mass index (BMI) with total cholesterol levels in students of Biology Department University of Lampung. Total cholesterol levels are affected by age, intake of fiber, fat, carbohydrates and protein, physical activity and body mass index. Total cholesterol levels in body play an important role in the process of degenerative diseases. Body mass index, fiber intake, total cholesterol level Abstract
