This study used 25 journals consisting of 17 national journals and 8 international journals. The results showed that there was a relationship between maternal age during pregnancy and the incidence of preeclampsia. and the incidence tends to increase at the age of <20 years and >35 years as a risk factor. So it is necessary to carry out monitoring through adequate and regular Ante Natal Care visits.
