RULA method was used to analyzed working posture of the subject while MSD complaint were recorded using Nordic Body Map. Data are coded and entered into the tabulation prior to analysis using a statistical test to see the correlation. Basic statistics are calculated, including the prevalence rate. Results and discussion: There was a relationship between the glucose levels with Nordic Body Map with significant value p= 0.025. While the significant relationship between the Dentist’t working posture and Nordic Body Map was p=0.012.
