Nutritional status is an important factor in assessing the growth and development rate of babies and toddlers. Cases of
malnutrition are increasing, especially in magelang city. Because nutritional problems (Malnutrition) can affect the health of
toddlers. Therefore, this study aims to predict the level of prevalence of malnutrition with the Naïve Bayes method. This
research uses an observational design, a single center study at the Magelang City Office, using the Naïve bayes method which
is used as an application of time series data, and is most widely used for prediction, especially in data sets that have many
categorical or nominal type attributes. The Naïve bayes method is used to predict such cases of malnutrition. The results of
this study show that the Naïve Bayes method succeeded in predicting the magnitude of cases of malnourished toddlers in
Magelang City with an accuracy percentage of 75% due to the very minimal amount of training data, and the areas that have
the most malnutrition are in three areas, namely Magersari, North Tidar and Panjang.
