Central obesity can occur because of changes in lifestyle such as high consumption of alcoholic beverages, smoking, high consumption of fatty foods, low consumption of vegetables and fruit, as well as lack of physical activity. The majority of Indonesia^s population consume 15 grams of fiber/person/day, whereas the consumption of good fiber ranges from 25 grams/day. Nationally, the average fat intake in Indonesia amounted to 41.9 grams. In Bangka Belitung Islands alone the average fat intake in adults was 58.2 grams (Balitbangkes, 2014).
