Sure! Blood pressure (BP) naturally varies with age, but here’s a general guide for normal blood pressure ranges:
Normal Blood Pressure by Age
| Age Group | Normal Systolic (mmHg) | Normal Diastolic (mmHg) |
|---|---|---|
| Children 1–5 yrs | 80–110 | 50–80 |
| Children 6–13 yrs | 85–120 | 55–80 |
| Teenagers 14–19 yrs | 95–135 | 60–85 |
| Adults 20–39 yrs | 100–129 | 65–79 |
| Adults 40–59 yrs | 110–139 | 70–89 |
| Adults 60+ yrs | 120–150 | 70–90 |
Notes:
- Systolic = top number (pressure when heart beats)
- Diastolic = bottom number (pressure when heart rests)
- “Normal” BP can vary slightly depending on activity, health conditions, and even genetics.
- Elevated BP is usually considered 120–129/<80 mmHg in adults.
- Persistent high BP (≥130/80 mmHg in adults) should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
If you want, I can also make a quick chart for teens specifically, since your age group might find it easier to read and use. This can help you see what’s healthy for someone your age. Do you want me to make that?
