Sure! Blood pressure changes slightly with age, but there are general ranges considered normal for different age groups. Blood pressure is expressed as systolic/diastolic (e.g., 120/80 mmHg).
Normal Blood Pressure by Age
| Age Group | Normal Systolic (mmHg) | Normal Diastolic (mmHg) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Children 1–5 yrs | 90–110 | 55–75 | BP is lower in young children |
| Children 6–12 yrs | 95–115 | 60–75 | Starts increasing gradually |
| Adolescents 13–18 yrs | 110–120 | 65–80 | Approaches adult levels |
| Adults 18–39 yrs | 110–125 | 70–80 | Healthy adult baseline |
| Adults 40–59 yrs | 120–135 | 75–85 | Slight rise with age is normal |
| Adults 60+ yrs | 130–145 | 75–85 | Often higher due to stiffening arteries |
Key Notes
- Optimal adult BP: Around 120/80 mmHg
- High-normal / prehypertension: 120–139 systolic or 80–89 diastolic
- Hypertension: ≥140/90 mmHg in adults
- Low BP (hypotension): <90/60 mmHg — can be normal if asymptomatic
- Children’s BP is more variable, depending on height and growth, so pediatricians often use BP percentile charts.
If you want, I can make a full, easy-to-read chart from birth to elderly age with exact normal ranges, including teen and pediatric percentiles — so you’d have all ages in one table.
Do you want me to do that?
