Here’s a clear, safe, and medically accurate guide for normal blood pressure by age:
🩺 Normal Blood Pressure Values by Age
Blood pressure (BP) is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and is recorded as systolic / diastolic (top number / bottom number). Normal ranges can vary slightly by source, but these are widely accepted averages.
| Age Group | Normal Systolic (Top) | Normal Diastolic (Bottom) |
|---|---|---|
| Children (1–12 yrs) | 90–120 mmHg | 60–80 mmHg |
| Teenagers (13–19 yrs) | 110–130 mmHg | 65–85 mmHg |
| Adults (20–39 yrs) | 110–125 mmHg | 70–80 mmHg |
| Adults (40–59 yrs) | 115–135 mmHg | 75–85 mmHg |
| Adults 60+ | 120–140 mmHg | 70–90 mmHg |
⚠️ Notes
- Systolic = pressure when the heart beats
- Diastolic = pressure when the heart rests between beats
- Blood pressure naturally rises slightly with age
- Persistent readings above 130/80 mmHg in adults may indicate hypertension
- Low readings (below ~90/60 mmHg) can cause dizziness or fatigue
💡 Tips for Healthy Blood Pressure
- Eat a balanced diet low in salt
- Stay physically active
- Maintain a healthy weight
- Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol
- Get your BP checked regularly
✅ Takeaway:
Normal blood pressure varies with age. Regular monitoring helps detect problems early and prevent complications.
