1 The evidence that calcium plays a role in the etiology, prevention, and treatment of pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) is reviewed. Calcium pregnancy-induced hypertension (pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, toxemia of pregnancy included) Homo sapiens
2 Epidemiologic data suggest an inverse correlation between dietary calcium intake and incidence of PIH. Calcium pregnancy-induced hypertension (pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, toxemia of pregnancy included) Homo sapiens
3 However, high-risk groups, such as pregnant teens, populations with inadequate calcium intake, and women at risk of developing PIH, may benefit from consuming additional dietary calcium. Calcium pregnancy-induced hypertension (pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, toxemia of pregnancy included) Homo sapiens
