In Indonesia, the prevalence of severely underweight is 1,4%, underweight is 6,7%, 1,1% were severely wasted and 4,3% of children were wasted. The prevalence of stunted has decreased from 27,7% in 2019 to 24,4% in 2020. However, this achievement is still far from the SDG’s targets.Objective: This study aims to determine the CND with a mapping geographical that can help the government to find the cause so the cases decrease faster.Methods: This study was descriptive with a cross-sectional design and conducted in Bukittinggi, West Sumatera, and used secondary data (Height and Weight Measurement Reports in 2020) from Public Health Office. To present the mapping geographical using QGIS 3.16 by taking the coordinate points of the Community Health Center in the Bukittinggi area.Results: Severely underweight, Guguk Panjang (7,55%) vs. Nilam Sari (0%).
