Here’s a clear breakdown of normal blood pressure by age. Blood pressure is measured as systolic/diastolic (mmHg), and normal ranges can slightly vary depending on health and lifestyle:
| Age Group | Normal Blood Pressure (mmHg) |
|---|---|
| Children (1–12 years) | ~90–110 / 55–75 |
| Teenagers (13–19 years) | ~110–120 / 65–80 |
| Adults (20–39 years) | ~120 / 80 |
| Adults (40–59 years) | ~120–130 / 80–85 |
| Seniors (60+ years) | ~130–140 / 80–90 |
Key Points:
- Systolic = pressure when the heart beats
- Diastolic = pressure when the heart rests
- Readings slightly above or below these ranges aren’t automatically dangerous, but consistent readings outside the normal range should be evaluated.
- Lifestyle factors like weight, exercise, stress, and diet can influence blood pressure.
⚠️ Tip: Regular monitoring and consulting a doctor are the best ways to ensure blood pressure stays healthy.
I can also make a visual chart showing ideal blood pressure for each decade, which makes it easy to see where you fall at a glance.
