Hypertension during pregnancy remains a major maternal health problem because it increases maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. This condition may lead to complications such as preeclampsia, eclampsia, preterm delivery, and maternal and fetal mortality. Several factors including maternal age, gravida status, nutritional status, and maternal health risk factors are suspected to contribute to hypertension during pregnancy. This study aimed to analyze risk factors associated with hypertension during pregnancy among pregnant women in the working area of Gunungpati Public Health Center, Semarang City. This study used an analytic observational design with a cross-sectional approach using secondary data from Antenatal Care (ANC) registration records in 2025. Samples were selected using a total sampling technique involving 541 respondents. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 25 through univariate, bivariate using Chi-square, and multivariate logistic regression analysis. The results showed that hypertension during pregnancy occurred in 30 respondents (5.5%). Maternal age risk and gravida status were not significantly associated (p>0.05), while body mass index risk was identified as the dominant factor (Adjusted POR=8.025; 95% CI=2.400–26.833; p=0.001). In conclusion, body mass index was the dominant factor associated with hypertension during pregnancy.
