The type of research was analytical observation with a case-control design. The sample of case and control consisted of 46 people per group. Data analysis was performed by calculating Odds Ratio (OR). The results showed that infectious diseases (OR= 2,590), mothers’ knowledge related to nutrition (OR=2,615), energy (OR= 2,067) and protein (OR=2,254) consumption were risk factors for malnutrition among children under five. It can be concluded that infectious diseases, maternal knowledge of nutrition, energy and protein consumption have an important role as a risk factor for the incidence of malnutrition in children under five.
