Objectives: To study the socio-demographic profile among the study population and to study the factors associated with pregnancy induced hypertension among the study population.Method: A Case control study was done among 100 pregnant women attending the tertiary centre. Cases and controls were selected in the ratio of 1:1 with 50 cases and 50 controls.The study participants were selected randomly and interviewed using a pretested questionnaire. Data was be entered in MS excel and analysis was done using Epi info 7.2.2.16. Results: Out of the total study participants 64% of the cases and 54% of the controls were Hindu by religion. Majority (72%) of the cases and 54% of the controls were multigravida. Majority (36%) of the cases belong to class II socio-economic status and majority of the controls (36%) belong to class III socio-economic status according to modified B.G Prasad classification.Majority(63%) of the subjects were multi-gravida and 71.2% have parity greater than two.LowerSocio-economic status,Physical Inactivity and History of PIH were found to be significant factors for Pregnancy induced hypertension among the cases. Conclusion: Lower socio-economic status, lack of exercise and past history of PIH were found to be significant among the study population.Anemia as a predictor of PIH needs further research as only few studies showed significant association between PIH and anemia.
