of overweight [1]. Based on data from Indonesia Health
Research in 2013, the nutritional status of the Indonesian
population aged > 18 years consisted of wasting (11.1%),
normal (62.7%), overweight (11.5%) and obese (14.8%).
While in North Sumatera, the nutritional status of the adult
population is divided into wasting (6.5%), normal (62.5%),
overweight (13.0%) and obese (18.1%). From the data above
shows that the rate of overweight and obesity in North
