Sure! Blood pressure naturally varies with age, and what’s considered “normal” changes as we grow. Here’s a clear age-based guide to typical blood pressure values:
Normal Blood Pressure by Age
| Age Group | Typical Normal BP (mmHg) |
|---|---|
| Children 1–5 years | ~95–105 / 55–70 |
| Children 6–12 years | ~100–115 / 60–75 |
| Teenagers 13–19 years | ~110–120 / 65–80 |
| Adults 20–39 years | ~120 / 80 |
| Adults 40–59 years | ~125–135 / 80–85 |
| Adults 60+ years | ~135–145 / 80–85 |
Notes:
- Systolic (top number) = pressure when the heart beats
- Diastolic (bottom number) = pressure when the heart rests
- Blood pressure can fluctuate with activity, stress, and time of day.
- Consistently high readings above normal may indicate hypertension, while very low readings may require a doctor’s evaluation.
💡 Tip for teens and young adults: Even if your blood pressure seems normal, healthy habits like regular exercise, reducing excess salt, and managing stress help keep it stable for life.
If you want, I can make a simple chart for kids, teens, and adults you can easily check at home, including the ranges for elevated and high blood pressure, so it’s super practical.
Do you want me to make that chart?
