Results: The maternal profile was of multiparous pregnant women aged 19-35 years, who underwent prenatal care with a greater number of women, 7 consultations reaching gestational age greater than 37 weeks. Maternal risk factors for hypertensive disease in pregnancy were nulliparity, gestational age less than 37 weeks. Fetal profile: female,>2500 kg, apgar of 1 °>7, apgar of 5 °> 7 and whose destination was joint accommodation. Fetal risk factors: weight> 2500Kg and apgar 1 ° <7. Conclusion: The risk factors for hypertension presented in these studies after multivariate analysis were nulliparity and gestational age <37 weeks for pregnant women and weight> 2500Kg and apgar 1 ° <7 for newborns. The Maternal profile traced was of multiparous pregnant women between 19-35 years old, who had prenatal care with consultations >7, gestational age >37 weeks with single fetuses. Already the neonatal profile was female babies, >2500 kg, apgar 1 ° >7, apgar 5 ° >7 and whose destination was the joint housing.
