Results : The results showed that from the four independent variables, there are two independent variables that had p values > 0,05 are the type of occupation ( p value = 1,000) and duration of work per day ( p value = 0,119), whereas the other two independent variables had p values < 0,05 are period of work ( p value = 0,004) and mercury level in the blood ( p value = 0,005) so that Ho is rejected for two independent variables that had p values < 0,05, which means that there is a significant correlation between period of work and mercury level in the blood with body imbalance on traditional gold miner in the Jendi Village Selogiri Subdistrict Wonogiri District. Conclusions : From this research can be concluded that as many as 88,1% of the respondents had a positive result of Romberg test and as many as 97,62% of the respondents had blood mercury level exceeding the EPA threshold value.
