Here are normal blood pressure (BP) values by age, based on commonly used clinical ranges. Keep in mind these are general guidelines—doctors also look at overall health, symptoms, and trends over time.
✅ Normal Blood Pressure by Age
| Age Group | Normal Systolic (mm Hg) | Normal Diastolic (mm Hg) |
|---|---|---|
| Children (1–5 yrs) | 80–110 | 50–80 |
| Children (6–12 yrs) | 90–120 | 60–80 |
| Teens (13–18 yrs) | 95–130 | 60–85 |
| Adults (18–39 yrs) | 90–120 | 60–80 |
| Adults (40–59 yrs) | 90–130 | 60–85 |
| Adults (60+ yrs) | 90–140 | 60–90 |
🔍 Key notes
- Normal adult BP: Around 120/80 mm Hg
- BP can vary with stress, activity, time of day, medications, and health conditions
- For older adults, slightly higher systolic values may be acceptable if there are no symptoms
🚨 When to be cautious
- Consistently ≥130/80 → may indicate hypertension
- Below 90/60 → may indicate low blood pressure (especially if dizziness or fainting occurs)
If you want, I can:
- Share a simple BP chart image
- Explain what systolic vs diastolic means
- Help interpret specific readings
