Objective: To determine the relationship between gravida status, age, and BMI status with the incidence of preeclampsia.Methods: The descriptive analytic study was using a cross sectional study design by looking at the medical records of subjects according to the time and place of research. The study population was all medical records of pregnant women with preeclampsia and those without preeclampsia in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Dr. M.

Bivariate analysis was performed using the chi square test with a significance level of p <0.05.Results: A total of 63.7% of patients with severe preeclampsia were primigravida (p <0.05), 52.5% were high risk groups with age <20 years and> 35 years (p <0.05), and 55% of patients with overweight and obese group (p <0.05). Primigravida has a tendency to suffer from preeclampsia compared to multigravida.
