“…The only data linking this type of infection with blood pressure comes from studies with an intestinal nematode Strongyloides venezuelensis that is used as a hookworm model in rodents. This nematode infection was found to increase both SBP and MAP in rats, possibly reflecting the impact of nematodeinduced inflammation on blood pressure (79). These results are consistent with the higher blood pressure observed in our pregnant women who were infected with hookworm.…”

Conclusion: MINDI were bi-directionally associated with blood pressure indicators. In this MINDI cohort, infections, nutrients and cytokines both raised, and lowered BP indices. The presence of eMAP identified pregnant women at risk of hypertension whereas low PP was associated with lower SFH. Therefore, MAP and PP may help in detecting women at risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in settings with limited access to technology.
