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).
🧒 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: ~100–120 / 65–80
👉 By late teens, values start to look like adults.
🧑🦱 Adults (18–59 years)
- Normal: <120 / <80
- Ideal range: ~110–120 / 70–80
- Elevated: 120–129 / <80
- High BP (Hypertension stage 1): 130–139 / 80–89
- High BP (Stage 2): ≥140 / ≥90
👴 Older Adults (60+ years)
- Normal target (general): <130–139 / <80–90
- Some doctors may accept slightly higher systolic BP (up to ~140) depending on health condition.
⚠️ Important Notes
- BP varies throughout the day (stress, exercise, sleep, caffeine).
- One reading is not enough—multiple readings are needed for diagnosis.
- “Normal” can vary slightly depending on guidelines (WHO, AHA, local doctors).
