---

Toddler is a group at risk of undernutrition in which World Health Organization (WHO) stated that toddler mortality because of undernutrition was 54% in 2002. In Indonesia, the prevalence increased from 17.9% in 2010 to 19.6% in 2013. In Tangerang City, there was 1.43% of toddlers suffering from undernutrition in 2013. This study aimed to prove in valid the correlation between Hearth Program covering food-providing behavior, toddler’s hygiene behavior, health care seeking behavior and toddler parenting behavior with undernutrition incidence among toddlers. This study was quantitative, cross sectional, using primary data, analyzed in univariate, bivariate and multivariate in a month on September. Samples were taken by total sampling as many as 60 toddlers suffering from undernutrition in Tangerang City. Results showed that 12 (20%) of 60 toddlers suffered from very underweight nutrition and the remaining amounted to 48 toddlers (80%) suffered from underweight nutrition. There was a correlation between food providing behavior and health care seeking behavior with undernutrition among toddlers. Variable food-providing behavior was the dominant factor influencing undernutrition among toddlers with OR = 4.655 (CI = 1.052 – 20.6) after controlled by the variable health care seeking behavior. Improvement on food providing and health care seeking is hopefully able to improve and decrease undernutrition among toddlers.
