ABSTRACTNutrition become an important part that affect the quality of life. Malnutrition
have a direct impact on growth disorders and immune system especially during
the first two years of a child's life, and malnutrition in the long run effect on
productivity in adulthood. This study aims to determine the minimum cost diet in
the nutritional status of children 12-23 months in the north coast of Brebes
District. The study design was cross sectional by processing the primary data are
taken in five sub-district in May 2012 with a sample of as many as 296 samples.
The results showed that more serious nutritional problems lead to stunting
problems (47.9%) and underweight (37.4%). The results of bivariate analysis
showed an association between energy and protein intake with nutritional status
(length for age); energy intake, protein, carbohydrates, fats, and the diversity of
foods with nutritional status (weight for age); gender, caregiver knowledge,
energy intake, protein, carbohydrates, fats, food diversity and the minimum cost
of a nutritious diet with nutritional status (weightfor length). Multivariate analysis
of protein intake as a dominant factor related to the problem of stunting and
underweight, and energy intake as the dominant factor associated with the
problem of wasting in children 12-23 months. The results suggest that increased
knowledge of the caregiver in terms of feeding through various channels of
information is absolutely necessary.;Nutrition become an important part that affect the quality of life. Malnutrition
