Here are the normal blood pressure (BP) values according to age groups. 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)
- Normal: ~100β120 / 65β80
π By late teens, BP becomes similar to adults.
π§ Adults (18β59 years)
- Normal: Below 120 / 80
- Ideal range: ~110β120 / 70β80
- Elevated: 120β129 / <80
- High BP (Stage 1): 130β139 / 80β89
- High BP (Stage 2): 140+ / 90+
π΄ Older Adults (60+ years)
- Common healthy range: ~120β140 / 70β90
- Many doctors consider up to ~140 systolic acceptable depending on health condition.
β οΈ Important notes
- BP changes throughout the day (stress, exercise, caffeine, sleep)
- One reading is not enoughβmultiple readings are needed
- βNormalβ can vary slightly based on guidelines and personal health
