Abstract:
Biological effect of vitamin D sufficiency has an effect on blood pressure regulation of the renin-angiotensin
system which help reducing elevated blood pressure. There is a meaningful difference of vitamin D levels
between preeclampsia incidences and normal pregnant women. The purpose of the research is to find out
the correlation between vitamin D levels and preeclampsia. Research method used is analytic crosssectional
study
with
the
pregnant
women
diagnosed
with
preeclampsia
as
a
population.
The
sample
is
76
people
consisting
of
38
people
of
case
group
and
38
people
of
control
group.
The
Point-Biserial
correlation
test
is
used
for
result
analysis.
The
result
of
the
research
shows
that
there
is
no
correlation
between
vitamin
D
levels
and preeclampsia incidences with the p value 0.052. It indicates that vitamin D levels does not
correlate with preeclampsia incidence in pregnant women. The finding of the research supports the theory
that preeclampsia is influenced by complex etiopathogenesis.
