<![CDATA[Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication characterized by hypertension ≥140/90 mmHg and proteinuria occurring after 20 weeks of gestation, which remains a leading cause of maternal mortality in Indonesia and globally. This study aimed to analyze the influence of maternal age on the incidence of mild preeclampsia at UPT RSUD Kuala Kurun. A quantitative observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design was employed, involving 30 respondents selected through total sampling. Data were collected from medical records and analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the Chi-Square test. The results demonstrated that maternal age had a statistically significant influence on mild preeclampsia incidence (Pearson Chi-Square = 16.708; p = 0.000), with a strong correlation coefficient (Pearson's R = 0.664). Parity was also found to significantly influence preeclampsia incidence (p = 0.011), whereas gestational age showed no significant effect (p = 0.549). Mothers aged >35 years represented the highest-risk group, with all three respondents in that category having a history of preeclampsia. These findings imply that age-based antenatal risk screening should be prioritized to enable early detection and prevention of preeclampsia progression in district-level healthcare facilities. ]]>
