Malnutrition is a major cause of death and illness in children. Malnutrition
can be caused by insufficient nutrient intake or the bodys inability to absorb
nutrients, which affects body weight.
This research is quantitative with a Pre-Experimental design using the
Nonequivalent Control Group Design. Data was collected using interviews and
observations with an observation sheet as the instrument. This research was
conducted from November to December 2024. The population in this study
consisted of all toddlers aged 2-3 years who had problems with appetite or were
undernourished in the working area of Gedang Village Health Center from July to
September 2024, totaling 24 children, with a total sampling technique, resulting in
a sample of 24 children. The variables in this study are weight gain. The data were
analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the Paired T-test.
The results showed that the average weight of toddlers before the
administration of curduma syrup (curcuma, honey, dates) was 11.2 kg. The
average weight of toddlers after the administration of curduma syrup was 12.5 kg
with a P-value of (0.000) < (0.05). There is an effect of administering curduma
syrup (curcuma, honey, dates) on the weight gain of toddlers aged 2-3 years in the

working area of Gedang Village Health Center, Sungai Penuh City in 2024 (P-
value 0.000 < 0.05).

It is hoped that the Gedang Village Health Center will continue to monitor
and increase the weight of toddlers through non-pharmacological methods, one of
which is by administering curduma syrup (curcuma, honey, dates), which has
been proven effective in increasing toddlers' weight.
