Effectiveness of Curcuma-Black Cumin Honey on Hemoglobin Levels, Iron, and Folate Intake in Stunted Children at Cirebon
Keywords:
Curcuma-Black Cumin Honey; Hemoglobin; Stunting.Abstract
Chronic malnutrition, especially iron and folate intake, is one of the causes of anemia. Children who are stunted often suffer from anemia, a condition where hemoglobin levels are below normal. Honey is rich in nutrients. Curcuma can increase appetite and black cumin can improve the immune system. This research aimed to determine the effectiveness of Curcuma-black cumin honey in increasing hemoglobin (Hb) levels, and iron and folate intake. This type of research is quasi-experimental research with a pre-test-post-test design. The population is stunted children in Tegalwangi, the working area of the Karangsari Cirebon Community Health Center. Samples aged 24-60 months were divided into a control group (no treatment) and a treatment group (consuming honey once a day for 4 months). The research was carried out from February to May 2023. Data on iron and folate intake was obtained from Nutrition recall results which were converted to Nutrisurvey software. Hemoglobin data from blood sample analysis. There was an increase in hemoglobin levels, iron intake, and folate intake in the treatment and control groups. Based on the Independent Sample T-Test, the difference in hemoglobin levels in pre-test and post-test samples was P < 0.05, and in controls P > 0.05. The difference in sample iron intake was P < 0.05, control group P > 0.05 The difference in folate intake in the sample group was P < 0.05, and the control group was P < 0.05. In this research, the effectiveness of maducurcuma-black cumin on hemoglobin levels and iron and folate intake.
