Blood pressure can vary with age, but there are general “normal” ranges used as guidelines. Here’s a simple breakdown:
🩺 Normal Blood Pressure by Age
| Age Group | Normal Systolic (mmHg) | Normal Diastolic (mmHg) |
|---|---|---|
| Children (6–13 years) | 90–110 | 55–70 |
| Teenagers (14–19 years) | 95–120 | 60–80 |
| Adults (20–40 years) | 100–120 | 60–80 |
| Adults (41–60 years) | 110–130 | 70–85 |
| Older Adults (60+ years) | 120–140 | 70–90 |
📌 General Guideline (Adults)
- Normal: Less than 120/80 mmHg
- Elevated: 120–129 / less than 80
- High Blood Pressure (Hypertension): 130/80 mmHg or higher
⚠️ Important Notes
- Blood pressure naturally increases slightly with age due to changes in blood vessels.
- A reading consistently above 130/80 mmHg may indicate Hypertension.
- Very low readings (e.g., below 90/60) may indicate Hypotension.
- Individual “normal” can vary depending on health, lifestyle, and medical conditions.
