Nowadays, many people face a high blood pressure problem. Blood pressure plays an important part in heart health.
Untracked blood pressure can be a health risk. Here is the list of what is the ideal blood pressure as per the age.
If a number is out of range, it is considered hypertension. If it is below 120/80, then it is considered healthy.
If it goes above 130-139/80-89, then the first stage of hypertension begins.
But if it goes above > 180/>120, then the risk of heart attack increases. At this point, it is necessary to rush to the doctor.
Now let's look at age... Women and men have different blood pressure levels.
The BP of a newborn baby should be in the range of 60-90/20-60 (Systolic (mm Hg)/Diastolic (mm Hg)) for the first month.
The blood pressure of children after this age should be 95-105/53-66, and the blood pressure of children attending nursery should be 95-110/56-70.
School-going children should have a BP range of 97-112/57-71. Adolescent children should have a BP range of 112-128/66-80.
Women aged 18-39 should have a BP of 110/68, while men should have a BP of 119/70, which is not the case for most people today.
Women aged 40-59 should have a blood pressure in the range of 122/74. Men in this age group should have a blood pressure of 124/77.
For women aged 60+, the blood pressure should be in the range of 139/68, while for men, the BP should be in the range of 133/69.
