The ages of mothers and fathers are both in the productive age, with the average population age of mothers between 29-31 years, for the average population age of fathers 32-34 years. Most mothers work as housewives (90%), and fathers work as farmers (35.8%). Most respondents have family members ≥4 people (73.3%), and have an income ≤Rp528,226.00. Household food security is included in the food secure category (75.8%), while for nutritional status BB/A, as many as 77.5% of toddlers have normal nutritional status. Based on the cross-tabulation of food security on the nutritional status of toddlers, it was found that there is an influence of food security on the nutritional status of toddlers where families with food security tend to have normal nutritional status of toddlers (60.0%), but there are still households that are also food secure but have toddlers with poor nutritional status (8.3%), and very poor (3.3%).
