The prevalence of non-contagious diseases such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension and obesity are increasing from year to year. Unhealthy diet such as excessive consumption of sugar, salt and fat is one of the factors causing these diseases. The result of data analysis shown that 21.5% of respondents had consumed sugar exceeding the recommendation of Permenkes no 30 year 2013 (>50 gram/day), 73.7% of respondents consume salt exceeding the recommendation of Permenkes no 30 year 2013 (5 gram/day), and as many as 7% of respondents consume fat exceeds the recommendation Permenkes no 30 year 2013 (> 67% gram /day). The highest consumption of salt and fat occurs in the age group of 56 - 65 years, while the highest sugar consumption occurs in the age group 40 - 45 years.
