Binary logistic regression analysis was used to simplify analyzing information from 30133 respondents aged > 18 years spread across 13 Provinces in Indonesia. The selection of respondents was based on the completeness of the information in the dataset provided by RAND as the dataset provider. The variables were analyzed in this study, included diabetes mellitus, cholesterol levels, gender, hypertension, overweight and age. Results: High cholesterol, hypertension and overweight were risks associated with diabetes mellitus in Indonesia. Of the three risks, overweight was the most significant risk (p = 0,000; OR 2,200; 95% CI 1,655 – 2,295).
