The data were analyzed using Whitney Man Test. Results: The results showed that there was an average difference of LDL levels in both groups (p = 0.000). However, there was no difference in mean HDL levels in both groups (p = 0.055). There were differences in fat, carbohydrate, vitamin C, zinc and copper intake between the two groups, each having a p value of 0.031; 0.019; 0.009; 0,000; 0.038. In the group who often eat sago has a fat, zinc and copper intake is lower than the group who rarely eat sago, and have a carbohydrate intake, vitamin C is higher than the group rarely consume sago.
