It looks like you meant to include a table, but it didn’t come through. No worries — I’ll give you a clear, accurate reference instead 👍
Normal Blood Pressure by Age (General Guideline)
| Age Group | Normal Blood Pressure (mmHg) |
|---|---|
| Children (6–12) | ~90–110 / 55–75 |
| Teens (13–19) | ~95–120 / 60–80 |
| Adults (20–40) | ~110–130 / 70–85 |
| Adults (40–60) | ~115–135 / 75–88 |
| Seniors (60+) | ~120–140 / 80–90 |
Important Modern Medical Insight
According to organizations like the American Heart Association:
- Normal (ideal): below 120 / 80
- Elevated: 120–129 / <80
- High Blood Pressure (Hypertension): 130/80 or higher
👉 This means “normal” doesn’t actually increase much with age — higher readings in older adults are common, but not necessarily ideal.
Key Takeaways
- Blood pressure naturally fluctuates slightly with age, but healthy targets stay fairly consistent.
- Consistently high readings can indicate Hypertension, which increases risk of heart disease and stroke.
- Lifestyle (diet, exercise, stress) matters more than age alone.
If you want, I can:
- Interpret your own BP readings
- Or explain what systolic/diastolic numbers actually mean in simple terms
Just tell me 👍
