Results: Most articles (9 out of 10) showed a significant association between calcium intake and reduced risk of hypertension in pregnancy. Conclusion: Adequate calcium intake plays an important role in reducing the risk of pregnancy hypertension. Other factors such as maternal age, nutritional status, and sodium intake also need to be considered in prevention efforts.
