Climatic factors and preeclampsia-related hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.
Seasonal variations of temperature and humidity are said to influence the incidence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Pregnant women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy were assessed on the basis of temperature and relative humidity at diagnosis. Temperature variations with constant high humidity do not influence the incidence of preeclampsia-eclampsia-related hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.
