Behavioral risk factors and maternal nutrition as predictors of pre-eclampsia among pregnant women in rural areas: cross-sectional study
Subject
behavior risk factor, obesity, pre-eclampsia
Description
Introduction: The behavior of pregnant women in caring for pregnancy is influenced by the environment, culture,
and lifestyle of the community. This study aimed to analyze the behavior of pregnant women and their nutritional
status during pregnancy contributes to the incidence of pre-eclampsia in rural areas.
Methods: This study used a cross-sectional approach to 210 pregnant women who visited a community health
center in East Java, Indonesia, in the period June 2020-February 2022. Potential risk factors, including maternal
behavior in care during pregnancy, and obesity were evaluated as determinants of pre-eclampsia and its subtypes.
The assessment instrument uses a structured questionnaire and has been tested for validity and reliability. Logistic
regression analysis was used to determine potential risk factors. Odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were
calculated to estimate the effects of individual factors. All statistical analyses were performed with SPSS version
22.0 with a p-value < 0.05 considered significant.
Results: There were 65 (31%) pregnant women experiencing pre-eclampsia from 210 samples. Maternal behavior
during pregnancy could predict the incidence of pre-eclampsia (p = 0.001; 95% CI 0.121-0.583; OR = 0.266) while
obesity was able to predict pre-eclampsia (p = 0.00; 95% CI 1.705-5.209; OR = 3.00). the age of pregnant women p =
0.014; 95% CI 1.143-3,355; OR = 1.959), and history of hypertension p = 0.036; 95% CI 1.053 – 4.550; OR = 2.189).
Conclusions: The behavior and nutritional status of pregnant women have been proven to influence the incidence
of pre-eclampsia.
