Here’s a clear, safe, and well-structured article on normal blood pressure by age, perfect for education or social content:
What Is the Normal Blood Pressure for Each Age? 🩺
Blood pressure is a key indicator of heart health. It’s measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and reported as systolic/diastolic (top/bottom number).
- Systolic (top): pressure when the heart pumps
- Diastolic (bottom): pressure when the heart rests between beats
Normal blood pressure varies slightly by age, lifestyle, and overall health.
General Guidelines by Age
| Age Group | Normal Blood Pressure (mmHg) |
|---|---|
| Children (1–5 years) | 95/65 – 105/70 |
| Children (6–12 years) | 100/65 – 110/75 |
| Teenagers (13–19 years) | 110/70 – 120/80 |
| Adults (20–39 years) | 110/70 – 120/80 |
| Adults (40–59 years) | 120/80 – 130/85 |
| Seniors (60+ years) | 120–140 / 80–90 |
Note: Blood pressure naturally rises slightly with age. Readings above 130/80 may require monitoring or lifestyle changes, especially for adults over 40.
