Preeclampsia remains a major contributor to maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Nutritional status is considered a modifiable risk factor, particularly during the third trimester when maternal physiological demands increase. This study aimed to determine the relationship between nutritional status and the occurrence of preeclampsia among third-trimester pregnant women at Pohuwato Regency Primary Health Care. A quantitative analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 30 third-trimester pregnant women selected through purposive sampling. Nutritional status was assessed using Body Mass Index (BMI), while preeclampsia was identified based on clinical diagnosis, including elevated blood pressure and proteinuria. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test with a significance level of p < 0.05. Of the respondents, 53.3% had normal nutritional status, 33.3% were overweight or obese, and 13.3% were underweight. Preeclampsia occurred in 36.7% of respondents, mostly among overweight or obese women. Statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between nutritional status and preeclampsia (p = 0.045). Nutritional status, particularly overweight or obesity, is significantly associated with preeclampsia in third-trimester pregnant women.
