Method: This study used a cross-sectional design with a sample of 966 people aged 16 years and over and residing in   Bengkulu Province. Questionnaire in the form of e-survey with Google form. Chi-square test was used to analyze the   relationship between age groups, knowledge, and education level with nutritional behaviour.
