| 1 | BACKGROUND: Evidence suggests that daily supplementation of 1500 to 2000 mg of calcium during pregnancy reduces pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH). | Calcium | pregnancy-induced hypertension (pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, toxemia of pregnancy included) | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | However, the evidence on the efficacy of low-dose calcium supplementation on PIH is limited. | Calcium | pregnancy-induced hypertension (pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, toxemia of pregnancy included) | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | The modified Poisson regression model was used to estimate the association (risk ratio) between consumption of calcium tablets and PIH. | Calcium | pregnancy-induced hypertension (pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, toxemia of pregnancy included) | Homo sapiens |
| 4 | CONCLUSIONS: Daily supplementation of 500 mg oral calcium during pregnancy for at least 180 tablets is associated with a considerably reduced risk of PIH, but this study is unable to confirm whether this association is causal. | Calcium | pregnancy-induced hypertension (pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, toxemia of pregnancy included) | Homo sapiens |
