Here’s a clear, age-based breakdown of normal blood pressure ranges, based on widely accepted guidelines:
Normal Blood Pressure by Age
1. Children (1–12 years)
- Varies by age and height, but roughly:
- Systolic: 90–120 mmHg
- Diastolic: 55–80 mmHg
2. Teenagers (13–19 years)
- Systolic: 110–135 mmHg
- Diastolic: 65–85 mmHg
3. Adults (20–59 years)
- Systolic: 90–120 mmHg
- Diastolic: 60–80 mmHg
4. Older Adults (60+ years)
- Systolic: 100–140 mmHg
- Diastolic: 60–90 mmHg
Key Points
- Normal: <120/<80 mmHg
- Elevated: 120–129/<80 mmHg
- High (Hypertension Stage 1): 130–139/80–89 mmHg
- High (Hypertension Stage 2): ≥140/90 mmHg
⚠️ Tips:
- Blood pressure can vary depending on stress, activity, and time of day.
- Regular monitoring is important, especially as you age.
- Consult a doctor if readings are consistently outside the normal range.
💡 Extra: Lifestyle habits like reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, managing stress, and maintaining a healthy weight can help keep blood pressure in a healthy range.
