Maternal age, residence, family history of hypertension, gravida, and frequency of fruit consumption were identified determinants of preeclampsia. Thus, healthcare providers should give emphasis for pregnant mothers in the older age category, primigravida, those who have a history of a family with hypertension, and those from a rural residence to diagnose the diseases as early as possible. Additionally, advising pregnant mothers attending antenatal care to consume fruits as early as possible in their daily diet reduces the risk of preeclampsia.
