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).
🧒 Children
- Newborn (0–1 month): ~60–90 / 20–60
- Infant (1–12 months): ~80–100 / 50–65
- Toddler (1–3 years): ~90–105 / 55–70
- Child (4–12 years): ~95–110 / 60–75
🧑 Teenagers (13–17 years)
- Normal: ~100–120 / 65–80
👉 By late teens, BP becomes similar to adults.
🧑 Adults (18–59 years)
- Normal: Below 120 / 80
- Ideal range: ~110–120 / 70–80
- Elevated: 120–129 / <80
- High BP (Stage 1): 130–139 / 80–89
- High BP (Stage 2): 140+ / 90+
👴 Older Adults (60+ years)
- Common healthy range: ~120–140 / 70–90
- Many doctors consider up to ~140 systolic acceptable depending on health condition.
⚠️ Important notes
- BP changes throughout the day (stress, exercise, caffeine, sleep)
- One reading is not enough—multiple readings are needed
- “Normal” can vary slightly based on guidelines and personal health
💡 Simple summary
