Gizi kurang dan gizi buruk pada balita berakibat terganggunya pertumbuhan jasmani dan kesehatan. Secara tidak langsung gizi kurang dan gizi buruk menyebabkan balita mengalami defisiensi zat gizi yang dapat berakibat panjang, yaitu berkaitan dengan kesehatan anak, pertumbuhan anak, penyakit infeksi dan kecerdasan anak seperti halnya karena serangan penyakit tertentu. Berdasarkan data terdapat 18 balita mengalami gizi kurang di Desa Mampree Kecamatan Syamtalira Aron Kabupaten Aceh.

Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektivitas daun kelor terhadap peningkatan berat badan pada anak balita di Desa Mampree Kecamatan Syamtalira Aron Kabupaten Aceh pada September sampai Oktober 2022.

Metode:  Intervensi yang dilakukan adalah dengan  pemberian daun kelor pada balita selama 3 minggu berturut-turut sebanyak 1 mangkuk, kepada seluruh responden yang menjadi sampel dalam penelitian, dan akan dibandingkan dengan kelompok kontrol tanpa intervensi daun kelor. Jumlah sampel yaitu 20 orang kelompok intervensi, dan 20 orang kelompok kontrol. Data penelitian akan dianalisis dengan metode univariat dan bivariat.

Hasil: Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, dapat dilihat balita dengan intervensi daun kelor akan mengalami kenaikan berat badan yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan kelompok kontrol. Pada kelompok intervensi mengalami mengalami kenaikan berat badan balita ≥2kg sebanyak 80%, sedangkan pada kelompok kontrol hanya sebesar 15%.

Kesimpulan: Secara statistik dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat efektivitas pemberian daun kelor terhadap peningkatan berat badan balita di Desa Mampree Kecamatan Syamtalira Aron Kabupaten Aceh Utara.

Saran: Perlu diteliti tentang variasi pemberian olahan daun kelor yang dikombinasi dengan sayuran lain.
