Abstract
Hypertension is one of the most common diseases, especially among pregnant women. The combination of hypertension and obesity is a serious problem that requires careful medical monitoring. This literature review highlights the impact of obesity in pregnant women in association with hypertension on the risks of the gestational period and adverse pregnancy outcomes, within the framework of research works by Russian and foreign authors. The search for publications in Russian and English was carried out on the databases and electronic resources PubMed (MEDLIN), Scopus, eLIBRARY using the following keywords: “pregnancy”, “hypertension”, “obesity”. The presented literature review only considers articles with full text in open access. In preparing the literature review, an analysis of publications since 2000 was carried out. Last search date: 01. 27. 2025. A total of 19 articles were reviewed.
