---

Community health status may be aware of the status or disease morbidity, mortality or morbidity of the population and the nutritional status of the population by place of residence. The health of community living in deprived areas is expected to remain very low in comparison with areas which are not left aside. On the basis of the Riskesdas 2007 and SUSENAS 2007 data, conducted a study to know the description of the community health status in less development areas. The review is expected to be used by policy makers and improving the database that affect the community health in less development areas. Samples were taken from 199 areas of lagging region. The result of nutritional status of children weight for age (22.5), height for age (41.3%) and weight for height (15.2%), and these status remain high in comparison with other areas of full immunization coverage (32.5%) and neonatal visit by health workers (KN1 KN2-42.3% 24.2%) is still low compared to other regions. Assistant labour health coverage (47.1%) still very low compared to other regions. Instead of exclusive breast feeding (44.3%) better than other regions. Coverage of Ante Natal Care (K1: 65.4%) still low compared to other regions. The incidence of infectious diseases/contagious still high in deprived areas than in other areas. Noncommunicable diseases, including mental disorder in most parts of the disadvantaged than in other areas. The prevalence of underweight in adults is quite high compared to other regions. While the prevalence of overweight and obesity is still low compared to other regions. Environmental health status is low (household access to clean water: 51.9%, household access latrine: 30.5%, density of occupancy: 80%, and the ground floor: 83.2%) compared to other regions. Conclusions can be suggested as follows: the more specific policies are needed to improve the community health status in less development areas and need special attention to reduce the morbidity of infectious diseases and non-communicable diseases in the disadvantaged.
