Background: Nucleus Pulposus Herniation (NPH) is a disease in which the annulus fibrosus ruptures, causing the nucleus pulposus to protrude or bulge and press against the spinal canal, causing sciatic pain. One of the risk factors for Nucleus pulposus herniation was Body Mass Index (BMI). Objective: This study aim the relationship between BMI and the incidence of Lumbar Disc Herniation (LDH) patients at UKI General Hospital from January to June 2020. Methods: The subjects of the study were 24 patients with lumbar disc herniation who were treated at UKI General Hospital from January to June 2020 that were taken from medical records. Results: 63 samples were analyzed that obtained 24 (38.0%) patients with lumbar disc herniation, and patients with lumbar disc herniation with BMI ≥ 23 as many as 18 subjects (75.0%). Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between BMI and LDH patients at UKI General Hospital.
