Everyone has made this mistake. What is the normal bl00d pressure for each age?
Blood pressure is a key indicator of your overall health. But did you know that what’s considered “normal” can change as you age? Understanding how age impacts your blood pressure—and knowing the healthy range for your age group—can help you take proactive steps to maintain good health and prevent serious conditions like heart disease and stroke.
Why bl00d pressure is cruciall
Bl00d pressure is the force of bl00d pushing against the walls of your arteries as the heart pumps blood around your body. Bl00d pressure readings can give an indication of how hard your heart is working and are an important part of a general health assessment.
A normal blood pressure varies from person to person. Your doctor will suggest you on what is healthy for you, based on your medical history.
For most people, the following is a guide.
Bl00d pressure | Systolic (top number) mm Hg | Diastolic (bottom number) mm Hg |
---|---|---|
Low | Less than 90 | Less than 60 |
Optimal | Less than 120 | Less than 80 |
Normal | 120–129 | 80–84 |
Normal to high | 130–139 | 85–89 |
High | Greater than 140 | Greater than 90 |
Around 120/80 mm Hg is often considered a typical blood pressure reading.
