The household dual burden malnutrition indicator is represented by mother and children’s nutritional status. Descriptive analysis and chi-square test were used in this study. The study found that the prevalence of household dual burden malnutrition in Indonesia is 8.27% in which the Borneo and Eastern Indoesia region has the higest prevalence. Maternal age (p = 0.001), maternal education (p = 0.022), number of children (p = 0.001), and number of household members (p = 0.001) were having significant correlation (p<0.05) with the household dual burden malnutrition in Indonesia. Further study by using longitudinal design is needed to find the predictors of it so the government can formulate an effective and efficient intervenion to prevent adverse effects of household dual burden malnutrition to the community.]]>
