[ABSTRACT Nutrition become an important part that affect the quality of life. Malnutritionhave a direct impact on growth disorders and immune system especially duringthe first two years of a child's life, and malnutrition in the long run effect onproductivity in adulthood. This study aims to determine the minimum cost diet inthe nutritional status of children 12-23 months in the north coast of BrebesDistrict. The study design was cross sectional by processing the primary data aretaken 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 stuntingproblems (47.9%) and underweight (37.4%). The results of bivariate analysisshowed an association between energy and protein intake with nutritional status(length for age); energy intake, protein, carbohydrates, fats, and the diversity offoods with nutritional status (weight for age); gender, caregiver knowledge,energy intake, protein, carbohydrates, fats, food diversity and the minimum costof a nutritious diet with nutritional status (weightfor length). Multivariate analysisof protein intake as a dominant factor related to the problem of stunting andunderweight, and energy intake as the dominant factor associated with theproblem of wasting in children 12-23 months. The results suggest that increasedknowledge of the caregiver in terms of feeding through various channels ofinformation is absolutely necessary.;Nutrition become an important part that affect the quality of life.
