A study to evaluate the proportion of dyslipidemia on hypertensive elderly pregnant women in a tertiary care hospital

Introduction: Elderly pregnancy (age 35+) is rising globally, alongside increased chronic conditions like dyslipidemia and hypertension. While dyslipidemia is a known cardiovascular risk, its impact on elderly pregnancy, especially with hypertension, remains underexplored. Hypertension raises risks like preeclampsia and preterm birth, underscoring the need for further research on the combined e&ects of these conditions on maternal and fetal health. Aims: The proposed research aims to estimate the proportion of dyslipidemia among elderly pregnant women with hypertension, explore its association with hypertension, and assess its impact on fetal outcomes. It will also identify potential biomarkers for adverse pregnancy outcomes in this group. Materials & Methods: This observational descriptive study will be conducted at KPC Medical College & Hospital over two years, including 140 elderly pregnant women (aged ?35 years) with hypertension and a gestational age of ?20 weeks. Exclusion criteria include pre-existing conditions a&ecting lipid metabolism and multiple gestations. Result: The results show that 98.4% of individuals without hypertension had a No outcome, compared to 16.7% of those with hypertension, while 1.6% and 83.3% had a Yes outcome, respectively.
