According to epidemiological studies obesity, family history, low caloric intake and… are related risk factors. The purpose of this study was to determine relationship between family history, body mass index (BMI), serum Mg, nutritiom, and PIH.Methods: In a cross sectional study 172 prognant women at 28-42 weeks getational age in two groups were studied. The cases were hypretensive pregnant women and controls were normotensive pregnant women. The controls were matched by age, gestational age, and pariety with cases. Daily caloric intake, serum Mg, BMI and family history were determind. Then data were analyzed by SPSS10 software.Finding: The risk of developing PHI tended to increase by BMI ≥ 30 (P < 0.0001), positive family history (P < 0.0001) and low caloric intake (1399.45 ± 3.1 kal/day) (P < 0.001).Conclusion: BMI ≥ 30 and low caloric intake are two risk factors that are proventable and if there was positive family history of hypertension prenatal care should be done carefully.
