The analysis used Riskesdas 2013 (Balitbangkes), PSE and IPM (BPS) data. They were analyzed using linear regression to examine the relationship of variables and the nutritional status. It showed that number of poor people, income per capita, literacy rates, adequacy of doctor and posyandu, ownership of health insurance, and knowledge of the availability of health facilities were correlated with malnutrition status of children under five. Whereas, number of midwives did not influence malnutrition status of children under five. The higher percentage of poor people influenced higher malnutrition status of children under five. Meanwhile higher percentage of income per capita, literacy rates, adequacy of doctors and Posyandu, ownership of health insurance and knowledge of the availability of health facilities influenced lower malnutrition status of children under five. The development on the field of socio-economic was through additional employment, education through compulsory education, as well as the health sector by improving health services. It needs a sustained effort and long-term strategy in each area for the improvement of nutritional status of under five.
