OBJECTIVE: to evaluate 'hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP)' and 'gestationaldiabetes mellitus (GDM)' prevalence and associated factors in a public maternity hospital in Maceió-AL, Brazil. METHODS: this was a cross-sectional study conducted at the city's university hospital in 2013, using a standardized form, anthropometric assessment and medical records; crude and adjusted prevalence ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated using Poisson regression to investigate HDP and GDM association with the independent variables. RESULTS: HDP and GDM prevalence was 18.4% and 6.5%, respectively; excessive weight gain was found to be an independent factor associated with HDP prevalence (2.91; 95%CI 1.58;5.35); whilst age ≥35years (4.33; 95%CI 1.61;11.69) and being overweight (2.97; 95%CI 1.05;8.37) were independent factors associated with GDM. CONCLUSION: antenatal care should be organized to prevent some of these factors, with the aim of reducing SHG and DMG incidence rates.
