  • ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation of factors affecting the nutritional status of under-five children in Indonesia in 2015. This study employed a canonical correlation method which aimed to determine the relationship between two variables and identify the dimensions between two groups of variables. The resultsshowed that variables of complete basic immunization, complete neonatal visits, vitamin A, birth weight, and birth height were strongly correlated with malnutrition status and poor nutritional status, but indicated a negative correlation with good nutritional andovernutrition status. The independent variables which gave the highest effects on the decrease of malnutrition and poor nutritional status were complete basic immunization, complete neonatal visits, vitamin A, and birth weight, as they indicated a strong negative and an inversedcorrelation between the two variables. Keywords : canonical correlation, nutritional status, under-five children.
