Abstract

Pregnancy-induced hypertension often progresses to pre-eclampsia as one of the biggest
contributors to maternal mortality. Mineral and nutritional factors have an important role in
the etiology of pregnancy-induced hypertension, especially pre-eclampsia. A mineral factor
associated with hypertension is calcium. This study attempts to analyze the relationship
between calcium levels and the occurance of pregnancy-induced hypertension. A crosssectional study design was used to measure or observe independent variables (calcium
levels) and dependent variables (hypertension in pregnancy). The number of samples
was 43 second-trimester pregnant women taken by consecutive sampling technique. This
study used primary data by examining blood pressure and calcium levels contained in the
blood serum of pregnant women. Univariate analysis results showed that 30% of pregnant
women experienced pregnancy-induced hypertention, and 44% of pregnant women had
insufficient calcium levels. The results of the bivariate analysis proved that there was
a significant correlation between maternal blood calcium levels and the occurence of
hypertension in second-trimester of pregnant women (p value 0,000).
