Objectives To prospectively evaluate the association between gestational weight gain (GWG), prepregnancy body mass index (BMI), and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy using the revised Institute of Medicine (IOM) Guidelines. Methods We examined these associations among 1359 participants in Proyecto Buena Salud, a prospective cohort study conducted from 2006 to 2011 among women from the Caribbean Islands. Information on prepregnancy BMI, GWG, and incident diagnoses of hypertension in pregnancy were based on medical record abstraction. Results Four percent (n = 54) of women were diagnosed with hypertension in pregnancy, including 2.6 % (n = 36) with preeclampsia. As compared to women who gained within IOM GWG guidelines (22.8 %), those who gained above guidelines (52.5 %) had an odds ratio of 3.82 for hypertensive disorders (95 % CI 1.46-10.00; ptrend = 0.003) and an odds ratio of 2.94 for preeclampsia (95 % CI 1.00-8.71, ptrend = 0.03) after adjusting for important risk factors. Each one standard deviation (0.45 lbs/week) increase in rate of GWG was associated with a 1.74 odds of total hypertensive disorders (95 % CI 1.34-2.27) and 1.86 odds of preeclampsia (95 % CI 1.37-2.52). Conclusions for Practice Findings from this prospective study suggest that excessive GWG is associated with hypertension in pregnancy and could be a potentially modifiable risk factor in this high-risk ethnic group.
