Here are normal blood pressure (BP) values by age group. Blood pressure is measured in mmHg and written as systolic/diastolic (e.g., 120/80).
π§ Children
- Newborn (0β1 month): ~60β90 / 20β60
- Infant (1β12 months): ~80β100 / 50β65
- Toddler (1β3 years): ~90β105 / 55β70
- Child (4β12 years): ~95β110 / 60β75
π§ Teenagers
- 13β17 years: ~100β120 / 65β80
π By late teens, values start to look like adults.
π§β𦱠Adults (18β59 years)
- Normal: <120 / <80
- Ideal range: ~110β120 / 70β80
- Elevated: 120β129 / <80
- High BP (Hypertension stage 1): 130β139 / 80β89
- High BP (Stage 2): β₯140 / β₯90
π΄ Older Adults (60+ years)
- Normal target (general): <130β139 / <80β90
- Some doctors may accept slightly higher systolic BP (up to ~140) depending on health condition.
β οΈ Important Notes
- BP varies throughout the day (stress, exercise, sleep, caffeine).
- One reading is not enoughβmultiple readings are needed for diagnosis.
- βNormalβ can vary slightly depending on guidelines (WHO, AHA, local doctors).
