Sažetak

Aim: The aim of the study was to determine pregestational and gestational obesity as risk factors for the occurrence of preeclampsia using body mass index (BMI), as the first research in the East Croatian region.
Material and methods: This clinical study included 55 pregnant women with preeclampsia and a control group of 50 pregnant women without preeclampsia with measurement pregestational and gestational weight and body mass index.
Results: The mean body weight of preeclampsia women was 88.195 kg; by median, the mean body weight of control women was 77.030 kg. In women with preeclampsia, the mean gestational weight gain was 15.709 kg; in the control group, the mean gestational weight gain was 14.760 kg, whereas testing yielded no statistically significant differences in the mean weight gain between the preeclampsia women with the control group. The mean BMI in the group of women with preeclampsia was 32.235 kg/m2; in the control group, the mean BMI was 27.766 kg/m2. T-test yielded a statistically significant difference in the mean BMI between the preeclampsia group and control group of women with a normal course of pregnancy.
Conclusion: In our study, we found that women with preeclampsia had significantly higher BMI values at conception as compared to the group of pregnant women with a normal course of pregnancy, suggesting the increased pregestational BMI to be a risk factor for developing preeclampsia in pregnancy.
