Abstract

Hypertension is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, stroke and kidney disease. To avoid these complications, efforts are made to control blood pressure within normal limits both pharmacologically and non-pharmacologically. The cardio-cerebrovascular disease is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality, with a mortality rate of 17 million worldwide each year or 31% of all mortality. The five biggest causes of maternal death in Indonesia include hypertension in pregnancy. It is suspected that one of the causes of gestational hypertension is obstruction of blood flow by cholesterol. In the case of hypertension during pregnancy, this is one of the risks of developing preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is a danger sign that often occurs in pregnant women, which increases maternal mortality and morbidity. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between cholesterol levels and and events pregnancy-induced hypertension during pregnancy. This study is an observational study designed as a cross-sectional study. The sample size is 30 respondents, selected through continuous sampling. Then the results of the examination will be carried out by using the chi-square test. The results of the study stated that there was a significant relationship between cholesterol levels and events of gestational hypertension during pregnancy with a p-value of 0.024 and can be concluded that the higher the cholesterol during pregnancy, the higher the risk of experiencing gestational hypertension. There is no relationship between cholesterol during pregnancy with incidence preeclampsia in preterm (p = 0,062; p > 0,05).
