Objectives: To study the association of thyroid hypofunction with increasing age in pregnant women with hypertension Design: Prospective, observational, cohort study. Setting: Study was carried out in Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, S.S.M.C and associated G.M. Hospital Rewa, Madhya Pradesh during the period of 1st August 2015 to 31st July 2016.

Study population was selected randomly from women visiting to the outdoor and those admitted in antenatal ward. Participants: Cases: Women visiting the outdoor or those admitted in antenatal ward with diagnosis of gestational hypertension or preeclampsia where the case was defined on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria Controls: Women visiting the outdoor or those admitted in antenatal ward without gestational hypertension or preeclampsia. Main Outcome Measure(s): Results: Incidence of hypothyroidism increased with age from 12.5%(1 out of 18) , to 12.8%(6 out of 47), then to 41.9%(13 out of 31) and then further to 50%(7 out of 14) in age group <20 years, 20-24 years, 25-29 years and ≥ 30 years respectively. Conclusions: A positive association is present between increasing ageand incidence of hypothyroidism (clinical and subclinical) in antenatal patients having hypertension.
